Hey there,

Quick question. I'm trying to create something akin to a deck of cards, where an item is removed from an array through a random value. This stops being a factor in future selections until it is repopulated.

The problem is that after scouring my PHP manual, I can't see a thing about this specifically. I probably missed something, which is why I want to see if there are options that you are aware of.

This is what I have so far;

$test = array('1','2','3','4','5');

$testFront = array_slice($test, 0, 2);
$testEnd = array_slice($test, 3, count($test));

foreach ($testFront as $key => $value) { $testResult[] = $value; }
foreach ($testEnd as $key => $value) { $testResult[] = $value; }

?>

Any suggestions or hints?
