Problem with PHP array_rand command

Hey people,

Could somebody please help me out here?

I am trying to make a simple text rotator on my site.

The code I am using is this:

<?php
$text=array("text1", "text2", "text3", "text4", "text5");
$random=array_rand($text, 1);
echo $text[$random[0]] . "\n";
?>

PHP:

This however is not working for me.

It DOES work if I change it to display TWO text parts. I only want it to display one though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I think the following code should work:

<?php
$text=array("text1", "text2", "text3", "text4", "text5");
$random=array_rand($text, 1);
echo $text[$random] . "\n";
?>

PHP:

 

Works perfectly!

Thanks heaps!

 

I just had a problem with this function.. when the array is too big it doesn't work so well and you get no randoms at all, I suggest you this code:

$n=100; // Or your max desired value
for($i=1;$i<=($n+1);$i++)
{
	$input[]=rand(1,$n);
}
