Those replies were helpful however they did not do exactly what I had in mind.  I will make my request clearer: I need to change the following database query to grab random product from the sql database -

  $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price,p.products_price) as products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id where products_status = '1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and s.status = '1' order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS);


I hope someone can help.
