Well, I'm different. I don't like to "reinvent the wheel" every time I code
something, if such functionality already exists in the function library, I
use it rather than rewrite the whole thing.
As for the list being 58 elements instead of just 13, it can be easily
truncated to that using array_slice($randomstuff,-13) after the shuffle() so
that ain't no problem either.
It's just that it took me a minute or two to come up with the range and
shuffle solution, while writing the recursive function would mean a lot more
work. I like to keep it neat and tidy, short and simple. Good old KISS and
LOVE rules apply, Keep It Simple, Stupid and Leave Out Virtually Everything.
