Shuffling an array without changing its id.

[Napster]

I have an array that is called like this:

  $array = array("one" => "x", "two" => "y", three => "z");

Now I want to randomize the array so I used shuffle, however it then changes the id to like, 0, 1, 2. I do not want this to happen, I want the id to stay the same. Is there a function that can do this? If so what function otherwise, how can I do this?

Hi,

there's one user contributed note (Vladimir Kornea of typetango.com) in the php manual with code that might do what you want.

I already tried that and the one by Bjorn AT smokingmedia DOT com and both did not work for me 😢

Then again, I am using arrays in arrays and I need to have the array in the array shuffled.

How did they not work?
