What is the easiest/most efficient ways to shuffle the values in an array? PHP has a function like this. I want to take all the values in an array and randomize their keys. Anyone ever programmed a function like this before?

heres a simple way to do it

void flip(int ida, int idb)
{
int t=array[ida];
array[ida]=array[idb];
array[idb]=t;
}

void shuffle()
{
int i;
for(i=0;i<arraysize;i++)
{
flip(Random(0,arraysize-1),Random(0,arraysize-1));
}
}

It's a lot prettier this go around because of Jon Wofford.
