So I have been using codecademy lately to study programming. And things have been going fine but now I am stucked. Please PHP guys I need your help to solve this problem.

"Create an array() with the names of your closest family and friends. The more names in your array, the more fun your game will be!

After you've created your list, sort it and randomly select a name from the list.

When you have your winning name, print it to the screen in caps so everyone knows how awesome the winner is.

Functions we'll use here: array(), array_push(), sort(), count(), rand(), and strtoupper(). Play around with some of the other functions you've learned as well."

Ok. Check this Out. Some PHP gurus here might have a better solution for you.

<?php
$arrayOfNames = array("Emmanuel", "Osas Omon", "Victor ekon", "Abu aliyu" ); // Creates an array of names
array_push($arrayOfNames, "grace owoh" ); // adds "grace owoh" to the end of the array
sort($arrayOfNames); // sort the array
$randomName = $arrayOfNames[rand(0, count($arrayOfNames)-1)]; // rand takes lower and upper limits
echo strtoupper($randomName); // output in uppercase

?>
