str_shuffle — Mischia una stringa in modo casuale
Descrizione
str_shuffle() mischia una stringa. Viene generata una di tute le possibili permutazioni.
Example #1 Esempio di uso di str_shuffle()
<?php
$str = 'abcdef';
$shuffled = str_shuffle($str);

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.

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
?>

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)
);
}
?>

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;
}
?>

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;
}
?>

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);
}
?>
