    Is there a simple way to scramble letters in a variable?

    If I have something like:

    $word='animal'

    and I get something like the:

    $word1='minala"

    Thanks

    str_shuffle() should do what you want.

    See: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.str-shuffle.php

    probably not.

    but this will do it 
    <?PHP
/**
 * @return string
 * @param string $word
 * @desc scrambles the word given.
*/
function scramble($word)
{
	$newword = array();
	for($i = 0; $i < strlen($word); $i++)
	{
		$num = rand(0, 100);
		$newword[$num] = substr($str, $i, 1);
	}
	ksort($newword);
	$output = implode('', $newword);
	return $output;
}

echo scramble('animal');
?>
    Code (markup):
