array_rand()

[Jaswinder]

as we know array_rand outputs the keys,, how to get value from it of the random element

 

i tried this:-

 

<?php

$n = array("lions", "tigers", "bears", "kittens");

 

var_dump(array_rand($n));

 

?>

and also how to get values, if  i pass the 2nd parameter i.e. number of random keys we need,, because the array returned by it contain keys as their values

[Muddy_Funster]

$n = array('lions', 'tigers', 'bears', 'kittens');

$o = array_rand($n)

echo $n[$o];


$p = array_rand($n, 3);

foreach($p as $q){

echo $n[$q];

}
