Elvisten10: ^^^, i guess i did not read the question well and missed the i need your algo part. Here is my code for this:
<?php
function mixString($str1, $str2) {
$str = $str1.$str2;
$i = strlen($str);
$temp = '';
while($i > 1) {
$i = $i - 1;
$j = mt_rand(0, $i);
$temp = $str[$j];
$str[$j] = $str[$i];
$str[$i] = $temp;
}
return $str;
}
echo mixString('Elvis', 'Chidera');
echo "\n";
echo mixString('Elvis', '');
?>

Kidstell: the arrangement is definite and specific not random but i can notice your legend grade coding. My solution is not the best but i'm still reserving it

// $a and $b already known
$a='temple';$b='agile';
$al=strlen($a); $bl=strlen($b);
 $diff=$bl-$al; $offset=abs($diff);
if($diff>0){
 $twil=$b; $lite=$a;
}else{
$twil=$a;$lite=$b;
}
$tl=strlen($twil); $l=strlen($lite));
 ($tl>$l)?$part1=substr($twil,0,$offset-1):$part1='';
 ($tl>$l)?$mix1=substr($twil,$offset-1,$tl-1):$mix1=$twil;
$mix1=explode($mix1,''); $mix2=explode($lite,''); $mix='';
for($i=0;$i<$l;$i++){
 $mix.=$mix1[$i].$mix2[$i];
}
$answer=$part1.$mix;
echo "string1= $a"; echo "string2= $b";
echo $answer;

Javanian: whats with PHP and $$$$$$$$$$$$$ it makes the code look ugly

Elvisten10: @kidstell, some errors i fixed in that code:
1)explode, you should have used str_split
2)double )) in your code.
