Same for version 4.3.3 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-15 04:09:28] rschwartz at ec dot rr dot com Description: ------------ I was testing a for loop with incrementing alpha characters. For example, looping through a-z and printing those characters. It does not seem to work as expected. Reproduce code: --------------- Ex 1: for ($i = 'a'; $i <= 'z'; $i++) { echo $i; } Ex 2: for ($i = 'a'; $i < 'z'; $i++) { echo $i; } Ex 3: for ($i = 'a'; $i < 'aa'; $i++) { echo $i; } Expected result: ---------------- Ex 1: Print a-z. Ex 2: Print a-y. Ex 3: Print a-z. Actual result: -------------- Ex1 loops through to 'yz' and does not work as expected. Ex2 loops through to 'z', which is expected. Ex3 dies after the first iteration and only prints 'a'. I think this is an odd behavior. The < operator works as expected in this example but the <= operator does not. It doesn't seem like a consistent behavior. If I can remember correctly, I was able to get this to work on an earlier version sometime ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26914&edit=1
