PHP array_rand: Random Array Elements

The array_rand function can be used to randomly select one or more elements from an array. The syntax is as follows:

array_rand(array $array, int $num = 1)

Description of parameters:

1. $array: Required, the input array.
2. $num: Optional, defaults to 1, specifies the number of elements to select.

Return value:

1. If $num is 1, the array_rand function will return the selected random key name.
2. If $num is greater than 1, the array_rand function returns an array containing the randomly selected key names.

Example Usage:

$colors = array("Red", "Green", "Blue", "Yellow", "Orange");
$randomKey = array_rand($colors);
echo $colors[$randomKey]; // 输出随机选择的颜色

$randomKeys = array_rand($colors, 2);
echo $colors[$randomKeys[0]] . ", " . $colors[$randomKeys[1]]; // 输出两个随机选择的颜色

In the first example above, the array_rand function randomly selects a key name from the $colors array and outputs its corresponding value. In the second example, the array_rand function selects two random key names, returns an array containing these two key names, and then outputs their corresponding values.
