array_rand() w/ multi demensional

[Cyrx]

HI i am wonder how do you extract info from a mulitdimensonal array using the array_rand() function. Each time i try pull out info out it doesnt work correctly.

Here is an example of what im talking about:

$test array("http://www.test.com" =>("test.gif", This is test 1), "http://www.test2.com" => array ("test2.gif", this is test 2));

$ran_test = array_rand($test,1)
print "<a href=\"$test[$ran_test]\">$test[$ran_test]
<img src=\"$test[$ran_test][0]\"></a>
<br>
$test[$ran_test[1];

After i do that i will get a text out putted
Array linked to www.myhomepage.com/array
Can any one help me out and show me a way around this problem w/ using multi. arrays I would be greatful thank you

This seems to do what you want:

<?
srand((double) microtime() * 1000000);

$test = array(
0 => array(
"Address" => "http://www.test1.com",
"Graphic" => "test1.gif",

"Text" => "This is test 1")
,1 => array(
"Address" => "http://www.test2.com",
"Graphic" => "test2.gif",
"Text" => "This is test 2")
,2 => array(

"Address" => "http://www.test3.com",

"Graphic" => "test3.gif",

"Text" => "This is test 3")
);

$ran_test = array_rand($test);

print "<a href='".$test[$ran_test][Address]."'>".$test[$ran_test][Address]." <img src='".$test[$ran_test][Graphic]."'></a> <br> ".$test[$ran_test][Text];
?>

in the print statement, I had to add the variables outside of the text string for some reason. When I tried including everything as one string, the variable substitution was not working properly for some reason, and would print Array[Address].
