php alphabet output
July 6th, 2005
aw thanks to miki for the tip. i was wondering if there was a smarter way to print out the alphebat in php than just typing them out LOL
———-
Every letter of the English alphabet corresponds to an ASCII code, so rather than manually typing everything out, you can achieve the same result with a simple PHP loop.
The code below will output all uppercase letter from A to Z by running through ASCII codes 65-90 (the values for uppercase letters) and converting each code to its corresponding letter using the in-built PHP function chr().
<?php
for ($i=65; $i< =90; $i++) {
$x = chr($i); print $x;
}
?>
For lowercase letters, use the numbers 97-122 instead.
