I'm not real clear on what "this" is...
Choose a string at random from an array?
$possibles = array('ross', 'andrea');
shuffle($possibles);
echo $possibles[0];
Or are you trying to compose a new string of randomly-selected
characters of a bunch of other strings?
Some combination of these functions might be in the recipe:
