php random select information from a database

[unwashed potato!]

i got a database which has id, author, post

How would i get it so php randomly selects the id number and then displays the author and post for it at every load up?

thanks

[edit] ok got it working.

reason it wasn't working was because i was including another file before that so some reason didn't allow this. anyone know why as i need to include the other file for the login on another page which will also have the code just added.

Thanks
