Hi, I need help with an algorithm to allocate rooms to people. I need to shuffle through a list of rooms to assign a room to a person and after the fourth person is assigned to the room, it should be out of the list(should be unavailable). I have not had any luck with PHP shuffling and sorting functions yet.
Any help (pointers, references, etc.) will greatly be appreciated.

Solution 1

Try to simplify your process. If you have x number of rooms, simply iterate through them whenever a person needs to be allocated. Then check the currently selected room. If it is full, move on.
