shuffle shuffle (PHP 3 >= 3.0.8, PHP 4, PHP 5)
shuffle -- Shuffle an array
Description bool
shuffle ( array &array )
This function shuffles (randomizes the order of the elements in)
an array.
Note: This function
assigns new keys for the elements in array .
It will remove any existing keys you may have assigned, rather
than just reordering the keys.
Example 1. shuffle() example
<?php $numbers = range ( 1 , 20 ); srand ((float) microtime () * 1000000 ); shuffle ( $numbers ); foreach ( $numbers as $number ) { echo "$number " ; } ?>
Note: As of PHP 4.2.0, there is no need
to seed the random number generator with srand() or
mt_srand() as this is now done automatically.
