PHP: Return random array element
Return a random array element using the array_rand() function.
code snippet:
<?php
$colors = array('red','orange','yellow','green','blue');
echo $colors[array_rand($colors)];
?>
sample output:
blue
notes:
Obviously your output will be random :) Please note: the array_rand() function returns a random key, so it can be used for indexed or associative arrays.
