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.
It’s a good thing PHP is so versatile!
Looks good 🙂
It’s a good thing PHP is so useful!
or:
for ($a = ‘a’; $a !== ‘aa’; $a++)
{
print($a . ”);
}
@raito – That’s another interesting approach I’ve not seen before. Thanks for sharing 🙂 It’s amazing how flexible PHP can be at times.
foreach (range(‘A’, ‘Z’) as $letter)
{
echo $letter;
}
