    Hello Reader's, If you want to know about shuffle function in PHP then this article is helpful for you. Lets say you want to generate 100 numbers on a random basis, a good way would be to generate an array with the numbers in order, then shuffle it. So PHP offers you to use Shuffle like this:-

    Something like this:

    $arr = array();
    
    for ($i=1;$i<=101;$i++) {
        $arr[] = $i;
    }
    
    shuffle($arr);
    
    print_r($arr);
    Output will look something like this:
    
    Array
    (
        [0] => 16
        [1] => 93
        [2] => 46
        [3] => 55
        [4] => 18
        [5] => 63
        [6] => 19
        [7] => 91
        [8] => 99
        [9] => 14
