Question

I saw on some SO posts that to shuffle arrays, you would use php’s shuffle($array);.

However, my problem is that I generate a randomn word from the dictionary (which I know how to do and is working) and then shuffle the letters randomnly into an anagram.

So basically – the word random would go to adrmon or something similar, but it shuffles the letters in the word randomnly.

How can I do this in php?

Answer 1

function shuffleWord($word) {

    $wordArray = str_split($word);
    shuffle($wordArray);
    return implode('',$wordArray);
}

$word = 'random';
$anagram = shuffleWord($word);
