Note that the int num_req parameter is the required number of element to randomly select. So if your
array has 3 element and num_req=4 then array_rand() will not return anything since it is impossible
to select 4 random elements out of an array that only contains 3 elements. Many people think that
they will get 3 elements returned but that is of course not the case.
