I would like to pull a random or alphabetical result on the home page
of a site and leave that same result on there for one week. The
closest example I have found online is Random Quote Version 3.1 which
pulls from a text file rather than the database. I cannot mod it to
pull from my db and also it relies on cookies, so I would assume it
would pull a different random item for each computer and then keep
that item on the page for whatever time you specify (?). I am working
with dealers and would like to automatically feature a different
dealer every week without having to go into the db and choose which
one to feature. Is this possible using PHP and MySQL? Does anyone have
any suggestions on a different technology or maybe some links to help?
