<?php
// Array:
$input = array("one", "two", "three", "four",
"five");
// Find the number of nodes. Subtract one, to account for the first node being 0.
$maximum = count($input) -1;
// Get the random number used to output a random node
$randomArray = rand(0, $maximum);
// Results
echo $input[$randomArray];
?>
