Random array?

[devWhiz]

I dont know how to word this really. what I want to do is

 

$Var[] = 3;
$Var[] = 6;
$Var[] = 2;
$Var[] = 17;

for($i=0; $i!=count($Var); $i++)
{
echo "#$i: ".$Var[$i]."\n";
}

 

 

I know I might be able to use rand() but I need it to echo ALL of the variables in the array in a random order, I know if I use count to find out how many variables there are that it would echo them 4 times randomly but might echo the same variable 2 times making it to where it only echos 3 different varables, if I am being confusing please let me know, I just want to get this resolved, thanks!

shuffle() the array. Then just foreach.

[devWhiz]

Yeah I was looking at shuffle, didnt know if there was a better way or something, this will work for now, thank you!

[xyph]

Dunno how anything could be better than shuffle. It does exactly what you want.

[Alex1646]

Yeah, Shuffle() do the trick.

what about this

 

for($abc=1; $abc<25; $abc++)
{
$ABC1 = rand($abc);
$ABC1 = $ABC2;

echo $ABC1 . " " . $ABC2."\n";
}

 

when I want to randomize abc1 but I want it to make abc2 randomized also but not different than abc1

[xyph]

What?

[mikesta707]

that... doesn't make any sense.. where did that come from

[devWhiz]

lol oops, how can I randomize the number of the for loop?

 

like

 

for($abc=1; $abc!=25; $abc++)
{
echo $array[$abc][0]. " " .$array[$abc][1];
}

I need to randomize abc but it has to be the same for each time it echos the array, make sense?

[xyph]

Like this?

 

<?php

$length = rand(5,25);

for( $i=0;$i<$length;$i++ ) {

echo $i . '<br />';

}

?>
