Get a random tag

The CMS Questions
1

Hi,

I have a tags field whose content looks like this:

----

Namepool: Zaphod,Arthur,Ford,Trillian,Marvin,Slartibartfast

----

I now need to get a random tag from this entry, and display that on the page as a string. I am struggling with this, what would be the best approach here?

Thanks!
Mike

Bunch of ways to do this, first one that comes to mind is something like this

// Convert to array and shuffle it
$tags = A::shuffle($page->namepool()->split());

// Grab the first item of the array
$tag = A::first($tags);

// Do something with it
echo $tag;

Just the job, thank you. I am having a very Friday sort of Friday!
