str_shuffle

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

str_shuffleMélange les caractères d'une chaîne de caractères

Description

str_shuffle(string $string): string

str_shuffle() mélange les caractères d'une chaîne. Une permutation parmi toutes celles possibles est créée.

Attention

Cette fonction ne génère pas de valeurs cryptographiquement sûres, et ne doit pas être utilisée à des fins cryptographiques, ou à des fins qui exigent que les valeurs renvoyées soient indéchiffrables.

Si de l'aléatoire cryptographiquement sûre est requis, le Random\Randomizer peut être utilisé avec le moteur Random\Engine\Secure. Pour des cas d'usage simple, les fonctions random_int() et random_bytes() fournissent une API pratique et sûre qui est qui est soutenu par le CSPRNG du système d'exploitation.

Liste de paramètres

string

La chaîne d'entrée.

Valeurs de retour

Retourne la chaîne mélangée.

Version Description
7.1.0 L'algorithme de randomisation a été modifié pour utiliser le Générateur de Nombre Aléatoire » Mersenne Twister à la place de la fonction rand de libc.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple avec str_shuffle()

<?php
$str
= 'abcdef';
$shuffled = str_shuffle($str);

// Cela va afficher quelque chose comme : bfdaec

Aoccdrnig to rseearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Hree's a cdoe taht slerbmcas txet in tihs way:
<?php
   
function scramble_word($word) {
        if (
strlen($word) < 2)
            return
$word;
        else
            return
$word{0} . str_shuffle(substr($word, 1, -1)) . $word{strlen($word) - 1};
    }

    echo
preg_replace('/(\w+)/e', 'scramble_word("\1")', 'A quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.');
?>

It may be ufseul if you wnat to cetare an aessblicce CTCPAHA.

This function is affected by srand():

<?php
srand
(12345);
echo
str_shuffle('Randomize me') . '<br/>'; // "demmiezr aon"
echo str_shuffle('Randomize me') . '<br/>'; // "izadmeo rmen"

srand(12345);
echo
str_shuffle('Randomize me') . '<br/>'; // "demmiezr aon" again
?>

This page is missing a very important notice:

Caution

This function does not generate cryptographically secure values, and should not be used for cryptographic purposes. If you need a cryptographically secure value, consider using random_int(), random_bytes(), or openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() instead.

A proper unicode string shuffle;

<?php
function str_shuffle_unicode($str) {
   
$tmp = preg_split("//u", $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
   
shuffle($tmp);
    return
join("", $tmp);
}
?>

$str = "Şeker yârim"; // My sweet love

echo str_shuffle($str); // i�eymrŢekr �

echo str_shuffle_unicode($str); // Şr mreyeikâ

As noted in this documentation str_shuffle is NOT cryptographically secure, however I have seen many code examples online of people using nothing more than this to generate say random passwords.  So I though I'd share my function which while it makes use of str_shuffle also rely's on random_int() for added security. I use this function to generate salts to use when working with hashes but it can also be used to generate default passwords for new users for example.

It starts with a universe of possible characters, in this case all letters (upper and lower case), 0-9, and several special characters.

It then will run str_shuffle on the universe of characters a random number of times, using random_int() (currently set to 1-10)

Then once the universe of possible characters has been shuffled it using random_int() once more to select the character as a random position within the shuffled string, as does that once for each character you want in the output.

function secret_gen( $len=64 ) {
    $secret = "";
    $charset = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*()_-+=`~,<>.[]: |';
    for ( $x = 1l $x <= random_int( 1, 10 ), $x++ ){
        $charset = str_shuffle( $charset );
    }
    for ( $s = 1; $s <= $len; $s++ ) {
        $secret .= substr( $charset, random_int( 0, 86 ), 1 );
    }
    return $secret;
}

Unshuffle, using:
<?php
$string
= "Hello World!";

$seed = 1234567890;
mt_srand($seed);

echo
$sh = str_shuffle($string);  //print 'eloWHl rodl!'
echo str_unshuffle($sh, $seed); //print 'Hello World!'
?>

<?php
function str_unshuffle($str, $seed){
   
$unique = implode(array_map('chr',range(0,254)));
   
$none   = chr(255);
   
$slen   = strlen($str);
   
$c      = intval(ceil($slen/255));
   
$r      = '';
    for(
$i=0; $i<$c; $i++){
       
$aaa = str_repeat($none, $i*255);
       
$bbb = (($i+1)<$c) ? $unique : substr($unique, 0, $slen%255);
       
$ccc = (($i+1)<$c) ? str_repeat($none, strlen($str)-($i+1)*255) : "";
       
$tmp = $aaa.$bbb.$ccc;
       
mt_srand($seed);
       
$sh  = str_shuffle($tmp);
        for(
$j=0; $j<strlen($bbb); $j++){
           
$r .= $str{strpos($sh, $unique{$j})};
        }
    }
    return
$r;
}

To cobine functionality and simplicity of the two functions below we can have:

<?php
function generatePasswd($numAlpha=6,$numNonAlpha=2)
{
  
$listAlpha = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789';
  
$listNonAlpha = ',;:!?.$/*-+&@_+;./*&?$-!,';
   return
str_shuffle(
     
substr(str_shuffle($listAlpha),0,$numAlpha) .
     
substr(str_shuffle($listNonAlpha),0,$numNonAlpha)
    );
}
?>

Shuffle for all encoding formats

<?php

function unicode_shuffle($string, $chars, $format = 'UTF-8')
{
    for(
$i=0; $i<$chars; $i++)
       
$rands[$i] = rand(0, mb_strlen($string, $format));
           
       
$s = NULL;
           
    foreach(
$rands as $r)
       
$s.= mb_substr($string, $r, 1, $format);
           
    return
$s;
}

?>

str_shuffle isn't recommendable for passwords. Each character exists only one time).

A function like the following one is better for this.

<?php
   
function generatePassword($length = 8) {
       
$possibleChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
       
$password = '';

        for(
$i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
           
$rand = rand(0, strlen($possibleChars) - 1);
           
$password .= substr($possibleChars, $rand, 1);
        }

        return
$password;
    }
?>

Very, very simple random password generator, without using rand() function:

<?php
function random_password($chars = 8) {
  
$letters = 'abcefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890';
   return
substr(str_shuffle($letters), 0, $chars);
}
?>

Shortend function for PHP < 4.3
<?php 
function RandomPass($numchar

   
$word = "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0"
   
$array=explode(",",$word); 
   
shuffle($array); 
   
$newstring = implode($array,""); 
    return
substr($newstring, 0, $numchar); 

?>
