Could you send a copy of the line that works? it apparently doesn't like your 
use of rand().

  Hi,
  I have a mysql statement that is not working.  I am not sure why because I 
have one in another place that is almost the same thing that works fine.  
Here's my code:
  $sql = "SELECT member_id FROM members WHERE member_id NOT IN " . 
substr($exclude, 0, strlen($exclude) - 2) . " ORDER BY Rand() LIMIT 4";
  The error I am getting is:
  You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to 
your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '101, 100 ORDER BY 
Rand() LIMIT 4' at line 1
  Thanks for the help.
