$ayr[$items] is an Array

php > print_r($ayr);
Array
(
      [1] => Array
          (
              [0] => 60
              [1] => 61
              [2] => 62
              [3] => 63
              [4] => 64
              [5] => 65
              [6] => 66
              [7] => 67
              [8] => 68
              [9] => 69
          )

)

... after Shuffle:

php > shuffle(&$ayr[1]);
php > print_r($ayr[1]);
Array
(
      [0] => 67
      [1] => 69
      [2] => 66
      [3] => 61
      [4] => 62
      [5] => 60
      [6] => 64
      [7] => 68
      [8] => 63
      [9] => 65
)
