[PHP] Letter incrementing

[Brent Clark]

Hi all

Does anyone know how, or even if it is possible to increment a letter from the 
alphabet.

I know that if you use 
e.g

$o = 1;
$o++;

will result in $o ==  2,.

But I need to do a $variable = B;
and then do a $variable++ that will result in
$variable == C

Kind Regards
Brent Clark

Sure:

?php
 $letter = a;
 $letter++;
 echo $letter;
?

You'll get b :)

You want to use the char() function. What you need to do is increment 
an ascii value and then convert that value to a letter. So ascii 65 is 
A.
$asciiVal = 65;
echo char($asciiVal);  A
$asciiVal++;

for ($i = 0; $i  26; $i++)
{
  echo (chr($i + ord('A')));
}
