For example: $array = range(1, 5, 2); // array(1,3,5); It might be always positive to understand its effect easily. $array = range('Z', 'A', 3); // array('Z', 'W', 'T', 'Q', ...); If the second boundary cannot be included regarding to the step parameter, just simply leave it out: $array = range(1, 6, 2); // array(1,3,5); That's all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15920&edit=1
