shuffle() does not maintain key associations. This is how to shuffle an associative array without losing key associations: // $shuffle_me is the array $randomized_keys = array_rand($shuffle_me, count($shuffle_me)); foreach($randomized_keys as $current_key) $shuffled_me[$current_key] = $shuffle_me[$current_key]; // $shuffled_me is now a shuffled $shuffle_me This is simpler than the other methods described here and it actually works. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shuffle.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46853 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46853&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46853&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46853&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46853&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46853&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46853&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46853&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
