[code]  $random_query = tep_db_query("select products_id, products_image, products_tax_class_id, products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " where products_status='1' order by rand() limit 9");

  for ($row=0, $info_box_contents = array(); $row < 3;$row++ ) { 
   for ($col=0; $col < 3; $col++) {
    $random_product = tep_db_fetch_array($random_query);
    $random_product['products_name'] = tep_get_products_name($random_product['products_id']); 
    $random_product['specials_new_products_price'] = tep_get_products_special_price($random_product['products_id']); 

    $info_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'center', 
                                        'text'  => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $random_product['products_image'], $random_product['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id'], 'NONSSL') . '">' . $random_product['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $rprod_price); 
   }
  }
  new contentBoxHeading($info_box_contents); 
[/code]I think that this should print 9 different items.  It occurs to me that having the new statement inside the for loop was a mistake.  I also simplified the logic by adding another loop.

Good luck,
