title: How can I randomize an array in PHP by providing a seed and get the same order?
body: <p>I am trying to create a "random" string based on a fixed string. I'd like to be able, if at all possible, create the same random string (i know its an oxymoron) provided I use the same seed. like so:</p>
  
  <pre>
      $base = '0123456789abcdef';
      $seed = 'qwe123';
  
      function get_seeded_random_string($base, $seed){
          ???
      }
  </pre>
  
  <p>The expected behavior would be that as long as I give the same <code>$base</code> and <code>$seed</code> I always get the same random string.</p>
