RANDOM ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY
$nice = array( 'a'=>'hi',
'b'=>'there',
'c'=>'big',
'd'=>'guy');
$random = array_merge(array_flip(array_rand($nice,count($nice))),$nice);
I hate creating unnecessary functions.
THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY "INTEGER" KEYS PRESENT _WHATSOEVER_.
Look into "array_merge" to see why. Works perfect on any single-dimensional array with
nothing but STRINGS for keys. Might be a way to get integer keys to work, I didn't need it,
post if you figure it out.
