PHP and Mysql

I have made a simple database with the following items

squad_id int
sqname text
website text
picture blob

I connect to the database and do this with it.

PHP Code:


		
			
 $sConn = mysql_connect($dbServer, $dbUser, $dbPass) 

or die("Couldn't connect to database server"); 



$dConn = mysql_select_db($dbDatabase, $sConn) 

or die("Couldn't connect to database $dbDatabase"); 

$dbQuery = "SELECT squad_id, sqname, website, picture "; 

$dbQuery .= "FROM ibf_squads"; 



$result = mysql_query($dbQuery) or die("Couldn't get file list");

$total = mysql_num_rows( $result );





$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

All this works great and I get it to display fine. But what I want to do is this.

PHP Code:


		
			
 shuffle($row);

But obviously this isn't correct. I only want to display like 3-4 squads but I need to shuffle the squads so they will all get displayed eventually instead of the first 3-4 squads. Can anyone help?

Hi, Atilla!

Hi, Atilla!
You need get first 3-4 values, write to seperste array and shuffle them, after that - write back.
