Warning: mt_rand() expects parameter 2 to be long, array given in

<?
$a=array("john@john.com","lucy@lucy.com","kevin@kevin.com","dad@dad.com","mum@mum.com");

shuffle($a);

$r=mt_rand(1,$a);

for($i=0; $i<count($r); $i++) {

echo $r[$i];
}
?>

[AndyB]

[code]$r=mt_rand(1,count($a));

for($i=0; $i<$r; $i++) {[/code]
