Note that as of 5.2.10, the statistical glitch described by Reinoud Elhorst's post
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-rand.php#74406) is fixed - and so after 9 years,
array_rand's algorithm again preserves the order of keys from the input. If you want a random
order, just shuffle the result.
For those interested in the details, go to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48224 and read the
html document linked to in the bugreport.
