[SOLVED] Number array

[dreamwest]

What is a simple way of by using php to create a random number based on a array, i can do this with javascript but i need to convert it to php:

 

Javascript random array:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
function text() {
};

text = new text();
number = 0;

// textArray
text[number++] = "3894"
text[number++] = "2236"
text[number++] = "4976"
// keep adding items here...

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number);

document.write(text[increment]);

//--></SCRIPT>

Set up a php array. Depending on the number of elements, you can use rand() to return one at random.  For example, if you created a 20 element array:

 

$text[] = 3849;
$text[] = 2238;
// etc.
echo $text[rand(1, 20)];
