[SOLVED] Random Strings!

[DJTim666]

I want to know how I can run random strings set by me. Here is the code that I want to randomize.

 

<?php
$answer1 = "Yes";
$answer2 = "No";
$answer3 = "Maybe";
$answer4 = "I'm not sure";
$answer5 = "Possibly";
$answer6 = "For sure";
$answer7 = "Precisly";
$answer8 = "Why ask me? I'm just a computer.";

$answerRandom = rand($answer1, $answer8);
?>

 

Any help would be appreciated!

im pretty new to php, but couldnt you just create a random interger?

 

ok here is the idea

 

$random=rand (1, 7)

 

 

 

then use that to choose the string???

 

would that work?

 

echo $answer$random

 

i dont know for sure, like i said, im pretty new...dont know syntax and whatnot...its an idea though.

No, I'm affraid that des;t work. It is just displaying the number.

Got it to work finally. I had to use the switch() funtion !
