php associative array random

[dagon]

how do I randomly select a member from an associative array?

I hav an array:
$dir_books = array(
'arkham' => 'art/books/arkham/inline',
'ballantine'=> 'art/books/ballantine/inline',
'necron' => 'art/books/necron/inline',
'other' => 'art/books/other/inline',
'panther' => 'art/books/panther/inline',
'pulps' => 'art/books/pulps/inline'
);

and i want one member from it randomly, I can get a randon value or a
random index but not the whole member which i need for building a new
array.

Fixed it by doing this:

$books_ran = array( $key = array_rand( $dir_books ), $dir_books[ $key ] );
$books = array("books" => "$books_ran[1]");
