You need to do a while loop to get the result from the SQL query, like this:

require_once('db.php');  
$sql="SELECT * FROM  modul1open WHERE idM1O>=(SELECT FLOOR( MAX( idM1O ) * RAND( ) )    
FROM modul1open) ORDER BY idM1O LIMIT 1";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

    // If you want to display all results from the query at once:
    print_r($row);

    // If you want to display the results one by one
    echo $row['column1'];
    echo $row['column2']; // etc..

}

Also I would strongly recommend not using mysql_* since it's deprecated. Instead use the mysqli or PDO extension. You can read more about that here.
