Random members URL?

I am currently using the following code to retreive a random members URL:

PHP Code:


		
			
$getnames = $DB_site->query("

                SELECT

                * FROM user

                ORDER BY rand()

                LIMIT 1

        ");



        while($geturl = $DB_site->fetch_array($getnames))

                {

                        if ($geturl[homepage] == null) {



                            $rnd_site = "<a href=\"http://www.roundhost.net\" target=\"blank\">http://www.roundhost.net</a>";



                        } else {



                            $rnd_site = "<a href=\"$geturl[homepage]\" target=\"blank\">$geturl[homepage]</a>";



                        }



                }

However, i would like it so that it always gets a member that has a url, rather than changing it to point to roundhost if their url is empty...how could i do this? It should be easy but all my attempts have failed! :(

Thanks in advance,

RoundHost

HAve a look at the "NOT <=>" this is a NULL-save version of "NOT ="

If i remember right

Btw, no point in selecting * when you just want the homepage. Go easy on your server and save it pulling all those extra un-needed columns ;)
