note 92267 added to function.shuffle

Randomizes the elements in your 1D array without using shuffle(). Feel free to use, no credit required! <?php function my_shuffle_array($array){ $size = count($array); $first_key = array_shift(array_keys($array)); $second_key = array_pop(array_keys($array)); if($first_key == $second_key){return $array;} for($i=1;$i<=(rand(1,$size)*$size);$i++){ $r1=rand($first_key,$second_key); $r2=rand($first_key,$second_key); while( $r1==$r2 || !array_key_exists($r1,$array) || !array_key_exists($r2,$array) ){ $r1=rand($first_key,$second_key); $r2=rand($first_key,$second_key); } $temp = $array[$r1]; $array[$r1] = $array[$r2]; $array[$r2] = $temp; } return $array; } ?> As you can see, it returns the shuffled array. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 169.237.97.215 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shuffle.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92267 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92267/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92267/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92267/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92267/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92267/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92267/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92267 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92267 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
