note 26902 added to function.array-rand

Posting this again, don't know where the original wound up - A much simpler way to pick a random entry out of an array. // place your required values in an array $colours = array("green","red","orange","blue","peach"); // pick a random value from the array (minus one because your range in the array starts at 0 rather than 1) $colours = $colours[rand(0,count($colours)-1)]; // verify print $colours; Remember to seed the random generator with srand() at the beginning of your script. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-rand.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26902 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26902 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26902
