shuffle()

Returns a shuffled version of the argument.


    public
            static    shuffle([array<string|int, mixed>|string $arg = '' ]) : array<string|int, mixed>|string

This function accepts either an array, or a string.

Parameters

$arg : array<string|int, mixed>|string = '': The set to shuffle

Return values

array<string|int, mixed>|string —

The shuffled set

shuffleArray()

Returns a shuffled version of the array.


    public
            static    shuffleArray([array<string|int, mixed> $array = [] ]) : array<string|int, mixed>

This function does not mutate the original array. It uses the Fisher–Yates algorithm, which is unbiased, together with a Mersenne twister random generator. This function is therefore more random than PHP's shuffle() function, and it is seedable.

Parameters

$array : array<string|int, mixed> = []: The set to shuffle

Return values

array<string|int, mixed> —

The shuffled set

shuffleString()

Returns a shuffled version of the string.


    public
            static    shuffleString([string $string = '' ][, string $encoding = 'UTF-8' ]) : string

This function does not mutate the original string. It uses the Fisher–Yates algorithm, which is unbiased, together with a Mersenne twister random generator. This function is therefore more random than PHP's shuffle() function, and it is seedable. Additionally, it is UTF8 safe if the mb extension is available.

Parameters

$string : string = '': The set to shuffle
$encoding : string = 'UTF-8': The string encoding (defaults to UTF-8)

Return values

string —

The shuffled set

    public
                valid([Closure $validator = null ][, int $maxRetries = 10000 ]) : ValidGenerator

The value validity is determined by a function passed as first argument.


$values = array();
$evenValidator = function ($digit) {
  return $digit % 2 === 0;
};
for ($i=0; $i < 10; $i++) {
