Get random item from array [duplicate]
$items = Array(523,3452,334,31,...5346);
Each item of this array is some number.
How do I get random item from $items?
echo $items[array_rand($items)];
array_rand()
If you don't mind picking the same item again at some other time:
$items[rand(0, count($items) - 1)];
Use PHP Rand function
<?php
$input = array("Neo", "Morpheus", "Trinity", "Cypher", "Tank");
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2);
echo $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n";
echo $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n";
?>
