According to the code it should be doing this because the ORDER BY RAND is in there. I asked around and some people suggested i need another column in my table with a name of id, so this is what it should look like
Code: Select all
-------+-------+--------------+
| id | state | ip |
+------+-------+--------------+
| 1 | AL | 67.100.244.74|
| 2 | AK | 68.20.131.135|
| 3 | AZ | 64.134.225.33|

Thanks Everyone
