um...dude - this is kind of a silly question. is this one of your homework problems..?

I know some of you are very good with this type of stuff and I am not. Given an array of elements (with an unknown length), I need to find all possible combinations of that array. Say I have an array with the values of: 'hey', 'you', and 'guys' I need an algorithm that allows me to combine each of these array elements into a string... all combinations: "hey you guys" "hey guys you" "you hey guys" "you guys hey" "guys hey you" "guys you hey" I'm sure I could pound this out, but I'm sure some of you have done this in the past or know a specific algorithm that would do the trick. Thanks! -Dan PS. This is for PHP, so if you have code examples, that would be even better. .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `===================================' .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
