Random New Products

[Guest]

I have just noticed a little problem which I am stuck with, is anyone able to see the problem, here is a link to get familiar:

 

http://www.eurorep.net/retail this is work in progress and I have almost sorted all the scripts I need, but I have just noticed this in the new products for month on front I have name of product price pic and description also buy button in a box k, this is great needs a little work to make 100% but I have just noticed the product name and description dont match?

 

Here is the code: I have highlighted the bits that make them random which is what I need, but they are too random <_<

 

<?php

 

$limit = 170;
