note 67974 added to function.array-rand

Well, I came up with a workaround for my earlier problem. For those of you who might need to shuffle around multi-dimensional arrays (I used this to randomize a list of headlines from a MySQL database query), here's what I did to get the desired output: $subs = //my query went here $shfl = array_rand($subs, 5); $shsubs = array(); for ($x=0; $x<count($shfl); $x++) { $shsubs[] = $subs[$shfl[$x]]; } There may in fact be a much easier way to do this, but this is what I came up with and its working!
