Good afternoon. I'm having trouble getting PHP to loop from A through Z.
Here is what I tried, coming from a C background:
for ($l = "A"; $l <= "Z"; $l++)
echo $l;
// Returns A, B, C, ..., X, Y, Z, AA, AB, AC, AD, AE, ... YX, YY, YZ. (26 *
26 results!)
Interestingly, if I make it a "less than" operation instead of "less than or
equal to", it works correctly (except for the Z):
for ($l = "A"; $l < "Z"; $l++)
echo $l;
// Returns A, B, C, ..., W, X, Y (25 results)
Anyone know why PHP would do that?
Nope... but try...
for ( $l = ord("A"); $l <= ord("Z"); $l++ )
echo $l;
Also maybe check out the range() function.
