Random array values from associative

I have an associative like array["name"]="hello"; I am trying to get two random values from the array, the key name and the value, but using the codes below from the PHP manual i am getting the inex key value rather than the name. $rand_keys = array_rand ($input, 2); print $input[$rand_keys[0]]."\n"; print $input[$rand_keys[1]]."\n"; so instead of getting two random values like key=name & value="hello" i am getting key=0 and value=hello. How do i get the name of the key not the index number? Thanks in advance -awlad
