it is strange... if I do this:
function nextRecord(){ $this->[EMAIL PROTECTED]($this->queryID); $test=$this->record; echo $test; $status=is_array($this->record); return ($status); } "Array" is echoed for $test so I know it is an array but if I add this: shuffle($test); I get the warning that shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be an array, boolean given. -----Original Message----- From: Edward Peloke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 2:23 PM To: Php-General Subject: [PHP] shuffle I am using a db class which has the following method for cycling through the records function nextRecord(){ $this->[EMAIL PROTECTED]($this->queryID); $status=is_array($this->Record); return ($status); } where queryID is set by running the query. It works fine and I can run it as follows $sql->query("select * from clients"); while ($sql->nextRecord()){ echo $sql->getField("name");} Problem is, I want to have the array shuffled so the rows are randomly displayed each time the user hits the page. I have tried shuffle around the @mysql_fetch_array call and $this->queryID but nothing seems to work...any ideas?
