Array Shuffling

[Adeus]

Hello, I am trying to accomplish somewhat of a shuffle (for lack of better term). I am using mysql_fetch_array to populate the array. I am trying to get it to act like this;

 

{0, 1, 2}

{1, 2, 0}

{2, 0, 1}

then back to {0, 1, 2}

etc...

 

As you can see, the first item in the array moves to the back with each "shuffle." I have checked out array_shuffle, array_splice, etc... I can't seem to find a good way to do this. Any help is much appreciated.

 

At first, I used a variable which increases by +1 each page load, looping from 0 to 2. I then used this number for the LIMIT ($number, 3) in my SQL query. This worked, but of course did not append the first item to the end of the list after a page load.

try array_shift()  but you have to manipulate with array_push() and array_pop()

How about this:

 

<?php

$testArray = array(0,1,2);

$times = 5; // This is the number of times you want to perform your rotation.

for($i=0; $i = $times; $i++){
  $tmp = array_shift($testArray); // Take value from the front.
  array_push($tmp);  // Put front value on the back.
}

?>

 

Hope that answers your question.
