aw thanks to miki for the tip. i was wondering if there was a smarter way to print out the alphabet 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.

It’s pretty cool, huh! I wish it could be done in less than 4 lines, though…
for ($i=65; $i
I have the acsii table for the uppercase letters memorized since my shift and caps lock keys no longer work… 😛
A better solution is:
for ($i=”a”; $i != “aa”; $i++) print “$i\n”;
Note that you can’t say $i
$range = range(‘a’, ‘z’);
foreach($range as $a){
echo $a;
}
Shouldn’t that work too? Haven’t tried it, though. 🙂
thank you! Googled this and found it here!

Thanks all,
This entry is useful!
This code works well. Thanks a ton for your code, it helped a bunch. 🙂
Genius! Thanks for the help!
i also dig using a foreach range() for this. good article.
