    Need Some Quick PHP Help...PHP Gurus Inside!

    So I have an array like this:

    PHP Code:
    $dic = array(
" integer1 " => " integer2 ",
" integer3 " => " integer4 ",
" integer5 " => " integer6 ",
" integer7 " => " integer8 ",
);
    and I need to asign 3 different possible values to each element of the array so that the script will randomly choose one...... how can I rewrite this array? ... will an array be even the right choice here?

    I need something like this (don't know if this is even possible when it comes to arrays):

    PHP Code:
    $dic = array(
" integer1 " => " integerA " " integerB " " integerC ",
" integer3 " => " integerD " " integerE " " integerF ",
" integer5 " => " integerG " " integerH " " integerI ",
" integer7 " => " integerJ " " integerK " " integerL ",
);
    If integer1 is found the script should access and set a random value within the array...any ideas of how to set this up?

      you need to do a multi-dimensional array
      $dic = array( "interger1 " => array( "intergerA" => "value", "intergerB" => "value", "intergerC" => "value" ), "interger2 " => array( "intergerA" => "value", "intergerB" => "value", "intergerC" => "value" ), "interger3 " => array( "intergerA" => "value", "intergerB" => "value", "intergerC" => "value" ));

      then shuffle();

      edit: good chance i fucked that code up because im half asleep, but you'll get the idea im sure.

          use array_rand()

          say you have $pick = array('integerA', 'integerB', 'integerC');
          then use with your $dic = array(
          'integer1'=>array_rand($pick),
          'integer2'=>array_rand($pick),
          ...
          );

          hope this helps

                      I need that when integer1 is found the script will go into the array and pic 1 of 3+ possible values specified for that array element........ for instance

                      IF

                      integer1 is found it shoud pick 1 of 3+ values and assign it to it... the script should asign a value to each integer element so: integer2, integer3, integer4 will also be assigned a value..

                          yeah, then do them multidimentional as k0nr4d said and then use shufle or array_rand to pick random value for required integer
