RE: [PHP] stepping through alphabet

[Steve Buehler]

I was hoping for something that looked (at least to me) a little 
cleaner.  Someone else gave me the answer and here is my final code that 
works out just great for me.
        for($letter = 'A', $i = 0; $i <= 25; $letter++, $i++ ){
                echo "<a 
href=\"?action=alphabet&letter=$letter\">$letter</a> ";
        }

Amazing what I learned today. :)  I love this list and its people.

Thanks for your help

Create a $letters array and the loop through it like this:

$letters=array('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z');

foreach($letters as $letter)
{
        echo "<a href=\"?action=alphabet&letter=$letter\">$letter</a>\n";
}

Subject: [PHP] stepping through alphabet
I am using PHP 4.3.4 and am trying to come up with a function that will
step through the alphabet so that I get a menu/links that can be clicked on
like below:
<a href="?action=alphabet&letter=A">A</a>
<a href="?action=alphabet&letter=B">B</a>
<a href="?action=alphabet&letter=C">C</a>
etc...........
I am sure that this has been done and is probably pretty easy.  Any help
here would be appreciated.  I know that I could just create a link for each
letter, but I would like to learn to do this so that I can make code
shorter.  Putting each letter into an array and steping through the array
will work, but can it be done by telling a loop to start at A and end at Z?
Thanks
Steve
