simple vars doubt i guess

[pedrobcabral]

I have wasted sometime on this and i cant figure out the solution, here it goes:

 

<?php
$menu1 = "icecreams";
$menu2 = "meet";

$random = $menu .rand(1,2);

 

The random variable outputs "1" or "2" instead of icecreams or meet.

Can anyone help me? Thanks.

<?php
$menu[1] = "icecreams";
$menu[2] = "meet";

$random = $menu[rand(1,2)];
