shuffle()

Why cant i shuffle a merged array?

 

$arr[] = array('id' => 0, 'title' => funny);
$latest[] = array('id' => 23, 'title' => second);

$blend = array_merge($latest,$arr);
print_r(shuffle($blend));

The shuffle function returns a boolean (i.e. TRUE or FALSE), not an array, so you can't do

<?php
print_r($shuffle($blend));
?>

and expect to see the array.

You can do

<?php
shuffle($blend);
print_r($blend);
?>

ok i tried this but all it return is "1"

 

$arr[] = array('id' => 0, 'title' => funny);
$latest[] = array('id' => 23, 'title' => second);

$blend = array_merge($latest,$arr);
$blend = shuffle($blend);
print_r($blend);

You don't want

<?php
$blend = shuffle($blend);
?>

Do

<?php
shuffle($blend);
?>

Same reasoning as my first post.
