If the array elements are unique, and are all integers or strings, here is a simple way to pick $n random *values* (not keys) from an array $array:
<?php array_rand(array_flip($array), $n); ?>

array_rand — Bir diziden belli sayıda rasgele anahtar döndürür
$dizi, int $istek_sayısı = 1): int|string|arrayarray_rand() işlevi bir diziden belli sayıda rasgele eleman seçer ve bunların anahtarlarını döndürür. Kriptografik amaçlara uygun olmayan sözde bir rasgele sayı üreteci kullanır.
diziİşleme sokulacak dizi.
istek_sayısıKaç tane rasgele eleman döndürüleceği belirtilir.
Sadece bir girdi alınmak istenirse array_rand() işlevi
diziden rasgele bir anahtarla döner. Aksi takdirde, rasgele elemanların
anahtarlarını içeren bir dizi döndürür. Böylece, diziden rasgele anahtarlar
değerleriyle birlikte bir dizi olarak çekilmiş olur. Birden fazla anahtar
döndürülüyorsa, bunlar dizideki yerlerine uygun sırada çekilir. Dizideki öğe
sayısından daha fazla öğe çekilmek istenirse E_WARNING
seviyesinde bir hata oluşur.

<?php
$input = array("Neo", "Morpheus", "Trinity", "Cypher", "Tank");

If the array elements are unique, and are all integers or strings, here is a simple way to pick $n random *values* (not keys) from an array $array:
<?php array_rand(array_flip($array), $n); ?>
It doesn't explicitly say it in the documentation, but PHP won't pick the same key twice in one call.
<?php
/**
* Wraps array_rand call with additional checks
*
* TLDR; not so radom as you'd wish.
*
* NOTICE: the closer you get to the input arrays length, for the n parameter, the output gets less random.
* e.g.: array_random($a, count($a)) == $a will yield true
* This, most certainly, has to do with the method used for making the array random (see other comments).
*
* @throws OutOfBoundsException – if n less than one or exceeds size of input array
*
* @param array $array – array to randomize
* @param int $n – how many elements to return
* @return array
*/
function array_random(array $array, int $n = 1): array
{
if ($n < 1 || $n > count($array)) {
throw new OutOfBoundsException();
}
return ($n !== 1)
? array_values(array_intersect_key($array, array_flip(array_rand($array, $n))))
: array($array[array_rand($array)]);
}
<?php
// An example how to fetch multiple values from array_rand
$a = [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' ];
$n = 3;
// If you want to fetch multiple values you can try this:
print_r( array_intersect_key( $a, array_flip( array_rand( $a, $n ) ) ) );
// If you want to re-index keys wrap the call in 'array_values':
print_r( array_values( array_intersect_key( $a, array_flip( array_rand( $a, $n ) ) ) ) );
for a cryptographically secure version, try
<?php
/**

*/
function array_rand_cryptographically_secure(array $array)/*: int|string*/ {
$max = count ( $array ) - 1;
if ($max < 0) {
throw new ValueError ( 'Argument #1 ($array) cannot be empty' );
}
return key ( array_slice ( $array, random_int ( 0, $max ), 1, true ) );
}
$tests = [
[5, 6, 7],
['a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3],
['zero', 4 => 'four', 9 => 'nine'],
["PEAN"=>0],

foreach ($tests as $test) {
echo array_rand_cryptographically_secure($test) . "\n";
}
?>
(this is an improved version, which unlike the first version, avoids copying *all* the keys)
array_rand () takes a random value without ever being able to go back in its choice of random value.
A simple example:
I decide to mix an array of 10 entries to retrieve 3 values. This choice will give increasing and random values.
$myarray = range(1,10);
$pm = array_rand($myarray,3);
// $pm return array(0->0,1->6,2->8)
But if I decide to shuffle an array of 10 entries to get 10 entries, array_rand () will choose to assign a value to each return value and therefore the return array will not be random.
$gm = array_rand($myarray,count($myarray));
// $gm not random array(0->0,1->1,2->2,3->3,4->4,5->5,6->6,7->7,8->8,9->9)
The easiest way to have a truly random value:
either use array_rand () in a loop of 1 value at a time
$deg = range(-60,60);
$size = range(16,64);
$color = ["blue","red","green","pink","orange","purple","grey","darkgreen","darkkhaki"];
$i = 0;
$longueur = 10;
do{
++$i;
printf("<span style='transform: rotateZ(%ddeg); display: inline-block;font-size: %spx; color:%s'>%s</span>",
$deg[array_rand($deg)],
$size[array_rand($size)],
$color[array_rand($color)],
$alnum[array_rand($alnum)]);
}while($i < $longueur);
------------------
or simply use shuffle () to shuffle the array really randomly.
Generate random index in weights array.
Implementation of Vose's Alias Method.
<?php

$count = count($weight);
$sum = array_sum($weight);
$d = $count / $sum;
$small = [];
$large = [];
foreach ($weight as $i => & $w) {
if ( ($w *= $d) < 1)
$small[] = $i;
else
$large[] = $i;
}
unset($w);
$prob = [];
$alias = [];
while (!empty($small) AND !empty($large)) {
$l = array_pop($small);
$g = array_pop($large);
$prob[$l] = $weight[$l];
$alias[$l] = $g;
if ( ($weight[$g] += $weight[$l] - 1) < 1)
$small[] = $g;
else
$large[] = $g;
}
foreach ($large as $i)
$prob[$i] = 1;
foreach ($small as $i)
$prob[$i] = 1;
$this->prob = $prob;
$this->alias = $alias;
$this->count = $count;
}
public function next(): int
{
$i = mt_rand(0, $this->count - 1);
if (mt_rand() / mt_getrandmax() <= $this->prob[$i])
return $i;
else
return $this->alias[$i];
}
}
// Usage:
$weight = [1, 2, 1, 1, 100, 1, 1, 5, 1, 1];
$rnd = new AliasMethod($weight);
$results = array_fill(0, count($weight), 0);
for($i = 0; $i < 100000; ++$i) {
$results[$rnd->next()]++;
}
print_r($results);
