[SOLVED] array_rand() not working

[PC Nerd]

hi

 

im not sure whether or not its not working, but im giving the function an array thats 12 elements long, but whats happening is it seems to simply be taking a random number from the length of the array, not selecting a random element from the array.....

 

 

do you know whats happening???

Use Shuffle

 

shuffle

(PHP 3 >= 3.0.8, PHP 4, PHP 5)

 

shuffle -- Shuffle an array

Description

bool shuffle ( array &array )

 

 

This function shuffles (randomizes the order of the elements in) an array.

 

Note: This function assigns new keys for the elements in array. It will remove any existing keys you may have assigned, rather than just reordering the keys.

 

Example 1. shuffle() example

 

<?php

$numbers = range(1, 20);

srand((float)microtime() * 1000000);

shuffle($numbers);

foreach ($numbers as $number) {

    echo "$number ";

}

?>
