Re: [PHP] Multiple words str_shuffle

I am trying to scramble individual words and/or phrases.

When it is a phrase I would like to keep the letters of each word
together, with a space between each one. The code I have so far is
below. I use PHP 4.4.7. The code below is fine for a single word; it
is phrases that I am now trying to accommodate.


An example:

rise and shine

Desired output:

I S R E N A D E H I S N

Thanks for your help,

Ron



$keyword might be

$keyword = str_shuffle(strtoupper($keyword));

$buffer = "";

for ($count = 0; ($count < strlen($keyword)); $count++) $buffer .=
$keyword{$count}." ";

$keyword = trim($buffer);

unset($buffer);


Once the individual words have had their letters shuffled, explode the
sentence on a space, then use the shuffle function (
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.shuffle.php) to, um, shuffle the
array.
