Simple PHP random array [duplicate]

Question

I have a simple array like this:

$input = array('Line1', 'Line2', 'Line3');

And want to echo one of the values randomly. I've done this before but can't remember how I did it and all the examples of array_rand seem more complex that what I need.

Can any help? Thanks

Answer 1

echo $input[array_rand($input)];

array_rand() returns the key, so we need to plug it back into $input to get the value.

Answer 2

Complex? Are we on the same manual page?

$rand_key = array_rand($input, 1);
