That works, but shuffle() is cleaner and then you can echo things out with a foreach() expression. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shuffle.php
If you're doing a shuffle inside a loop, it's going to be even slower. Might not be an issue for the OP but after your array gets to a certain size, doing that will be a problem.
Inside the loop? I envisioned shuffling the array, then launching the loop. Probably it is possible to avoid but if shuffle fires inside the loop, reshuffling seems like it would be an issue. Reese
