note 91360 added to function.shuffle

I've been wondering why shuffle() doesn't provide the shuffled array as a return value instead of a bool. I mean, what could possibly go wrong in shuffling elements from an array? So I use something like this: function array_shuffle($array) { if (shuffle($array)) { return $array; } else { return FALSE; } } ---- Server IP: 59.162.86.33 Probable Submitter: 64.255.180.21 (proxied: 60.254.53.224) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shuffle.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91360 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91360/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91360/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91360/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91360/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91360/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91360/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91360 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91360 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
