Random URL Redirect On click php or Javascript

I want to redirect to a random URL from a list.

Example : I have 3 URLs: Google.com, Facebook.com, yahoo.com.

<a href="<?php $sites[array_rand($sites)] ?>">Visit here</a>

So whenever users click the link they will be redirected to one of the 3 URLs in the array. I have tried this code but not working as needed: 

$sites = array(
'http://www.google.com/',
'http://www.facebook.com/',
'http://www.yahoo.com/'
);
die();

The same functionality using javascript:

<a href='javascript:openUrl()'>Visit here</a>
<script>
var sites=['http://www.google.com/',
'http://www.msn.com/',
'http://www.yahoo.com/'
];

function openUrl(){
    var i = Math.round(Math.random()*(sites.length-1));
    window.location.href=sites[i];
    return false;
}
</script>

I got my code working. 

<?php
$addresses = [
    'http://www.google.com',
    'http://www.facebook.com',
    'http://www.youtube.com'
];
$size = count($addresses);
$randomIndex = rand(0, $size - 1);
$randomUrl = $addresses[$randomIndex];
?>


<a href="<?php echo $randomUrl; ?>">random url</a>

If you have a better code, Please make a suggestion.

Thank you
