Generate Random Word?

I want to generate a random word, it doesn't need to be completely random (can also be a random word out of a list of 10, or something).

I know for sure this is possible, and I could find this out myself, but I simply don't have the time to do so...

Help would be appreciated, as always :)

PHP can't generate random words as it has no dictionary, though you might wanna use vB's searchindex. Run this query:

Code:

SELECT title FROM word ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 1

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$words = array();



$words[] = "word 1";

$words[] = "word 2";

$words[] = "word 3";

$words[] = "word 4";

$words[] = "word 5";

$words[] = "word 6";

$words[] = "word 7";

$words[] = "word 8";

$words[] = "word 9";

$words[] = "word 10";



echo $words[rand(0,count($words)-1)];

?>

Just add more random words to the array .. real easy :)
