Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-23 14:42:44] datibbaw@php.net range() now has that option since 5.0, though it will still assume the step size is negative when the start value is higher than the end value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-02 05:52:40] bigredlinux at yahoo dot com The range() function has the ability to generate a range from one number (or character) to another. It states in the documentation that if the first number (character) is greater than the second, it creates a decreasing range. However, the problem is, sometimes you don't want it to switch range order, so it would be nice to have a third parameter which states the direction or states whether you want it to auto flip. Hence, if I did range(9, 0, ASC) it would generate an empty array... or prehaps I could do range(9, 0, false) for not autoflipping. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=17565&edit=1
