Thanks everyone. I tried everybody's suggestions and I learned a lot. Someone 
else also suggested using a cron job to run the rand script at certain 
intervals and insert the result into another table. This also works.

I probably could've used javascript, which was my initial reaction, but I'm 
trying to learn PHP/MYSQL and adding java to the mix, would only add to the 
confusion.
