Choose a random winner or randomize a list with terminal and PHP [solved]
I wrote this for my class, which needed to have a randomized order of presentations:
php -r '$order = array("person1","person2","person3","person4","person5","person6","person7","person8","person9","person10");shuffle($order);foreach($order as $number=>$name){echo $number+1 . " $name\n";}'
To run it, open up terminal (in OS X) and paste it in.
I’ve also had to choose a random winner for gift certificates before:
php -r '$order = array("person1","person2","person3","person4","person5","person6","person7","person8","person9","person10");shuffle($order);echo "$order[0]\n";'
