get 1 element from array at a time but no duplicate till reach array's end

[Annaccond]

Hello,

I'm working on some script and I stuck in one place.

I have an array like this:

$test_array = array('key 1' => 'value 1', 'key 2' => 'value 2', 'key 3' => 'value 3'); 

I want to print one key & value at a time (from first to last). After passing random amount of seconds (let's say from range 1 to 10) print another key & value than another delay and print, delay and print (till the end of array). I don't want dupliacate print of the same records.

I mean:

script prints: key1, value 1
make random delay: (for ex.) 5 seconds
than prints: key 2, value 2
make another random delay: (for ex.) 3 seconds
than prints: key 3, value 3

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

foreach ($test_array as $key => $value)
{
     echo $key . "=>" . $value; //print out the values
     $iWait = rand(1,10); //randomize the seconds to wait, between 1 to 10
     sleep($iWait); //execute the waiting part.
}

Do check and read the PHP Manual. It can be downloaded from www.php.net

High level languages do have basic functions that are quite easy to guess, just look up the functions from common sense.

Good luck!

If you want random elements from the array, just use shuffle() first.
