Hi everyone.
I want to distribute/assign some data randomly but even amount from an array of users to an array of data.
Here's an example:
I have an array of user ids:
PHP Code: $users = array(20, 47, 25, 210, 194);
Then the array of data:
PHP Code: $data = array(
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???')
);
// Just assume that we have real data :)
And the result should be like this (to be used by Query Builder's insert_batch()):
PHP Code: $data = array(
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '20'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '210'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '25'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '194'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '47'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '20'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '25'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '194'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '20'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '194'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '210'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '47'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '210'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '25'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '20'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '210'),
array('department' => '???', 'datecreated' => '???', 'assignee' => '47')
);
Now, I want to assign (from the example) 17 rows to 5 users. So 3 for each user (and the remaining 2 will be either distributed to a random user or to the last person). We want this to be random. I tried to code it myself but failed.
How can I achieve this? Any help?
Thank you very much
