php random

[themoose]

How can I get a php script to randomise from a previously-selected selection of words? Thanks,

Are those words in a database or an array?

[themoose]

array.

[themoose]

Oh, and it has to output the randomly generated word as a fixed variable.

nvm ive got it


<?php
$value = array("Rabin","Reid","Cris","KVJ","John");

$rand_keys=array_rand($value,2);
echo "First random element = ".$value[$rand_keys[0]];

What are you using this for, might I ask?

T.M, remember that scirpt you made for swed.us/randomgame.php. Use that one, but change all the swf to txt and then put all the quotes in seperate txt files in one of the directrys. Simple.

robertallen, that would be a waste of time as this one works :)

Tree, i am using it for displaying random images on my portfolio home :)

Cool. Yeah, your script would work just fine.
