PHP – Writing An A to Z Loop

I was recently developing a PHP scraping script to extract the contents of a couple of websites and I wanted to find a quick way to run through a loop for each letter of the alphabet.  I figured since PHP was so versatile there had to be a quick and easy way, so I did a bit of thinking and came up with this:

for($alpha = 65; $alpha <= 90; $alpha++) {
      echo chr($alpha);
}

Simple!

    You should make a PEAR package out of this.
