    )
);

$randomlink = array_rand($urls, 1);
$thelink = $randomlink[0];
echo '<a target="_blank" href="' . $thelink . '">Random Faucet</a>'
?>

doesn't seem to work trying to get it to display one of those links randomly every click..

change this

 $thelink = $randomlink[0];

to

$thelink = $urls[$randomlink];

$randomlink = array_rand($urls, 1)

Picks one or more random entries out of an array, and returns the key (or keys) of the random entries

array_rand returns the keys of the entries, not the entires themselves.

Here's an example from the http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-rand.php

<?php
$input = array("Neo", "Morpheus", "Trinity", "Cypher", "Tank");
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2);
echo $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n";
echo $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n";
?>

So in your case you probably want $thelink = $urls[$randomlink[0]];

$randomlink contains the array key, so you would use: $thelink = $urls[$randomlink]. See array_rand() on php.net
