       closedir($handle);

} shuffle($files); return($files); now ... why does files not get shuffled? Is that not the purpose of that function ?

1) Nowhere in that while loop do you add elements to the $files array. 2) Yes, that is what the shuffle function does, but it will have no effect on an empty array. -Stut
