note 80586 added to function.shuffle

Function that does the same as shuffle(), but preserves key=>values. (Based on Vladimir's function) <?php function shuffle_assoc(&$array) { if (count($array)>1) { //$keys needs to be an array, no need to shuffle 1 item anyway $keys = array_rand($array, count($array)); foreach($keys as $key) $new[$key] = $array[$key]; $array = $new; } return true; //because it's a wannabe shuffle(), which returns true } $test = array(1=>'one','two'=>'2',3=>'3'); print_r($test); shuffle_assoc($test); print_r($test); ?> Array ( [1] => one [two] => 2 [3] => 3 ) Array ( [two] => 2 [1] => one [3] => 3 ) ---- Server IP: 89.248.170.58 Probable Submitter: 82.75.107.10 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shuffle.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80586 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80586/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80586/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80586/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80586/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80586/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80586/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80586 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80586 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
