Randomize array
This function simply randomizes array values.
// I noticed that there is already a built-in function that // does the same - so don't use mine ;-) // // --> shuffle($Array); // // http://de2.php.net/manual/de/function.shuffle.php // function RandomizeArray($array){ // error check: $array = (!is_array($array)) ? array($array) : $array; $a = array(); $max = count($array) + 10; while(count($array) > 0){ $e = array_shift($array); $r = rand(0, $max); // find a empty key: while (isset($a[$r])){ $r = rand(0, $max); } $a[$r] = $e; } ksort($a); $a = array_values($a); return $a; }
