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:
<?php
function array_shuffle($array) {
if (shuffle($array)) {
return $array;
} else {
return FALSE;
}
}
?>
