Shuffle associative and non-associative array while preserving key, value pairs. Also returns the shuffled array instead of shuffling it in place.
<?php
function shuffle_assoc($list) {
if (!is_array($list)) return $list;
$keys = array_keys($list);
shuffle($keys);
$random = array();
foreach ($keys as $key)
$random[$key] = $list[$key];
return $random;
}
?>
