Here is a simple code to generate a random order number in PHP. In my case, I want
to display number item 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 but in random order like:

13452

53241

23514 etc

1 <?php
2 $number = array( 1,2,3,4,5 );
3 for ( $i = 0; $i < 5; $i++ ){
4 shuffle( $number );
5 echo $number&#91;0&#93;;
6 unset( $number&#91;0&#93; );
7 }
8 ?>

For the real world example, hmmm maybe a simple quiz application. The code goes
like this:

1 <?php
2 echo "Quiz question? <br />";
3 $number = array( 1,2,3,4,5 );
4 $ask = array(
5 "1" => "answer no 1",
6 "2" => "answer no 2",
7 "3" => "answer no 3",
8 "4" => "answer no 4",
9 "5" => "answer no 5"
10 );
11 for ( $i = 0; $i < 5; $i++ ){
12 shuffle( $number );
13 echo "<input type='radio' name='radio' value='".$number
14 unset( $number[0] );
15 }
16 ?>
