I *thought* that shuffle used mt_rand under the hood, but could be
totally wrong...
As far as REAL random values goes, that's an encyclopedia of

Hey,
Have a quick question about which is better to get real random values, shuffle
or mt_rand.

I get the warning that shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be an array, boolean
given.

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

I've written a ShuffleCards function that will actually shuffle a deck of
cards just like would happen in real life (divide the deck in half and stick
them into each other with 1-3 cards between each other card)
function ShuffleCards(&$cardsArray, $times)
{
// Randomizes where to split
