if you want to generate random information from your mysql tables, all you have to do is use the RAND() function:
The following example will display one output from your table. You can display multiple fields by doing a loop.
example:
<?
# CONFIGURE
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_username = 'myusername';
$db_password = 'mypassword';
$db_dbname = 'mydatabase_name';
# END CONFIGURE
$database = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password);
mysql_select_db($db_dbname,$db);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY RAND()";
$result = mysql_query($sql ,$db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $myrow[field_name];
?>
