Re: [PHP] Array difficulty

I tried that earlier, but the problem is:

count( $chance ) - 1 ); returns an integer, so I would be asking for something like $chance[1] or $chance[0], neither of which exist in the array. Keep in mind $chance only has keys with string names:

The array looks like this:

$chance = array("lowercase" => 27, "uppercase" => 62, "integer" => 46);

The values assigned to each key are randomly generated.

Subject: RE: [PHP] Array difficulty

At this point, $result would be equal to "uppercase". I feel
like this is a really kludgey way to accomplish this. Is there
a better way?

Couldn't you just do

arsort($chance);
$lastItem = chance[( count( $chance ) - 1 )];

? Why iterate through the array when all you need is the last value?

thnx,
Chris
