I am a beginner when it comes to programming so I wanted to see if this would be the right way to code this. I was trying to generate a random background color from an array.
If there is something I'm missing or there is something I could do better please let me know.
<?php
$background_colors = array('#282E33', '#25373A', '#164852', '#495E67', '#FF3838');
$count = count($background_colors) - 1;
$i = rand(0, $count);
$rand_background = $background_colors[$i];
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body style="background: <?php echo $rand_background; ?>;">
</body>
</html>

That's pretty good.
However, I'd do it like so with array_rand()...
$background_colors = array('#282E33', '#25373A', '#164852', '#495E67', '#FF3838');
$rand_background = $background_colors[array_rand($background_colors)];
It is less code and more readable IMO.

function GenerateRandomColor()
{
$color = '#';
$colorHexLighter = array("9","A","B","C","D","E","F" );
for($x=0; $x < 6; $x++):
$color .= $colorHexLighter[array_rand($colorHexLighter, 1)] ;
endfor;
return substr($color, 0, 7);
}
