Make an array containing the characters/numbers/whatever you want to be
selected at random then pick from it using a random integer generated
from mt_rand[1] and echo your selection. If you have PHP < 4.2.0 you
will also need to use mt_srand[2].
$field = array('a','b');
$field_max = count($field) - 1;
echo $field[mt_rand(0, $field_max)];
