I tried that earlier, but the problem is:
count( $chance ) - 1 ); returns an integer, so I would be asking for something like $chance[1] or
$chance[0], neither of which exist in the array. Keep in mind $chance only has keys with string
names:
The array looks like this:
$chance = array("lowercase" => 27, "uppercase" => 62, "integer"
=> 46);
The values assigned to each key are randomly generated.

Couldn't you just do
arsort($chance);
$lastItem = chance[( count( $chance ) - 1 )];
? Why iterate through the array when all you need is the last value?
