I ended up using an example from the PHP website. <?php $input = array("Neo", "Morpheus", "Trinity", "Cypher", "Tank"); $rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2); echo $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n"; echo $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n"; ?> Just extended the array to the number of lines I needed.
That works, but shuffle() is cleaner and then you can echo things out with a foreach() expression. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shuffle.php Reese
