note 87620 added to function.array-rand

Whoops... forgot the email in my last post... vista_ at live dot se: I didn't want to leave without trying to help. Perhaps a more foreach-friendly variant of array_rand() could be useful: function Select_Random_Indices($source_array, $count = 1) { if($count >= 0) { if($count == 1) { result = array(array_rand($source_array, $count)); } else { result = array_rand($source_array, $count); } } else { $result = array(); } return $result; } Then you could do something like this: function Select_Random_Entries($source_array, $count = 1) { $result = array(); $index_array = Select_Random_Indices($source_array, $count); foreach($index_array as $index) { $result[] = $source_array[$index]; } return $result; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 206.75.15.5 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87620 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87620/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87620/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87620/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87620/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87620/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87620/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87620 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87620 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
