RE: [PHP] randomly picking a variable from an array

The easiest way I can think of would be to get a random number based on the size of an array. If you're querying your database and filling an array with all images, just use the database's random routine instead. (I.E. "SELECT quote,author from randomQuote ORDER by RAND() LIMIT 1" in mysql) If this isn't the case, something like this should work.. srand(time()); $random=rand(0,sizeof($myVar)-1); Hope I could be of some help... --Justin King, School District of Superior Web Coordinator (www.superior.k12.wi.us) -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Bannon [mailto:JBannon@advparadigm.com] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 2:08 PM To: PHP (E-mail) Subject: [PHP] randomly picking a variable from an array How do you randomly picking a variable from an array with PHP?
