[PHP] Question: Selecting Data from Array Randomly

[Trigs]

If I have an array and I want to select a random value from it would I be able to just do

rand($array);

Or what.

This is if you have arrays like $blah['1'];




$arrayC = count( $array );
$arrayC = $arrayC - 1;
$arrayR = rand( 0, $arrayC );

echo $array["$arrayR"];

Should work, sorry if not :P

oorrrrr caleb suggested : http://uk.php.net/array_rand on msn :P didn't know that existed, silly me
