note 115710 added to function.array-rand

Is there a difference in randomness if you use shuffle instead? <?php function array_shuffle($input, $num_of_results) { shuffle($input); return array_chunk($input, $num_of_results, true)[0]; } $input = array("Neo", "Morpheus", "Trinity", "Cypher", "Tank"); var_dump(array_shuffle($input, 2)); /* array(2) { [0]=> string(3) "Neo" [1]=> string(8) "Morpheus" } */ ?> And yes, I know that my example returns a portion of the array and not just the key numbers ---- Server IP: 93.124.244.82 Probable Submitter: 148.122.56.106 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115710 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115710/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115710/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115710/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115710/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115710/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115710/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115710 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115710 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
