Limit and Random with Repeater Field

Sorry for the repetition but sent this via Help Desk 3 days ago and nothing and I need this ASAP, so trying my luck here to see if someone knows the answer to this.

Anyways, here’s my question:

I have this code extracted from http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/random-repeater/ (of course with my own field names)

<?php $rows = get_field('slide_images', 'option'); 

            if($rows) $i = 0; 

            { shuffle( $rows ); 

            foreach($rows as $row) 

            { $i++; 

            if($i==13) break; 

            $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $row['image_to_slide'], 'full' ); 

            ?>

            <div class="class"><img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" /></div>

 <?php } } ?>

for what I see, it should work fine. A different version using only limit and different style, works just perfect, like this:

<?php if(get_field('slide_images', 'option')): 

            $i = 0;

            ?>

             <?php while(has_sub_field('slide_images', 'option')): 

     $i++;     

     if( $i > 40 )

     {

         break;

     }

     ?>

         <div class="item"><img src="<?php the_sub_field('image_to_slide'); ?>" alt="" /></div>

     <?php endwhile; ?>

     <?php endif; ?>

but the problem is I need shuffle, thus I can’t use this style. Bottom line, I need to use the simple PHP style, but I can’t make shuffle work, it simply outputs empty results, could you please tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance

PS: I’m not a techie, so answers like “get data from here and then create your code” are of no help, otherwise I’d have done it already. I did a data dump and all the data is there, so I know for a fact the code is wrong, just can’t figure what exactly
