This might be a bit more helpful ;) There are several way to do it, this
is just one. Unoptimised, aimed at readability.
<?php
// Split $items equally among $items
function randGroup($items, $groups) {
// Init
$return = array();
$cnt = 0;
// Shuffle
srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);
shuffle ($items);
// Divide up
while (sizeof($items)) {
$return[$cnt++] = array_pop($items);
if ($cnt >= $groups) $cnt = 0;
}
// Return
return $return;
}
// Replace these with the items you want, and specifiy 4 groups
$items = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14);
$result = randGroup($items, 4);
echo "<pre>"; print_r($result); echo "</pre>";
?>
