array_rand only operates on the "value side" of an array. To retrieve
random keys from an associative array, use array_keys() of the assoc. array
as input rather that the assoc. array itself:
$rand_keys = array_rand (array_keys($input), 2);
print $input[$rand_keys[0]]."\n";
print $input[$rand_keys[1]]."\n";
