(PHP 3 >= 3.0.8, PHP 4, PHP 5)
shuffle -- Shuffle an array
Description
bool
shuffle ( array &array )
This function shuffles (randomizes the order of the elements in)
an array.
Note: This function
assigns new keys for the elements in array.
It will remove any existing keys you may have assigned, rather
than just reordering the keys.
Example 1. shuffle() example
<?php
$numbers = range(1, 20);
srand((float)microtime() * 1000000);
shuffle($numbers);
foreach ($numbers as $number) {
echo "$number ";
}
?>

Note: As of PHP 4.2.0, there is no need
to seed the random number generator with srand() or
mt_srand() as this is now done automatically.

ksort(), rsort(),
sort(), and usort().
