Subject: [PHP-WIN] Randomize mySQL result array
This probably isn't strictly a PHP question, but I beg the indulgence of
those who know mySQL as well...
I have a result array grabbed from a mysql table. Is there a quick way to
randomize the order that the rows fall into the array instead of "as they
are extracted from the table" order?
Thank you,
Marc
