Ok, that's perfect.

But now that i have an array with all posts that satisfy that condition,
howto get a random one? Should i normally work with php here?

In the Blog example (tutorial) we have 2 fields (time fields) that are
automatically set by mysql. Is this a good practice? Why not set everything
with php? In my case i have to add an added_date (that will be the date when
the db row is created) and a posted_date (that will be set when the script
will randomly hit that line, also changing from 1 to 0 the status value).

Thanks
