PHP 4.0 Bug #7385 Updated: 'letter counting' bug when counting a-z

ID: 7385 Updated by: lyric Reported By: delme@jumeaux.bc.ca Status: Closed Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Assigned To: Comments: Applying ++ to a string essentially treats it like a base-26 number. It goes from 'a,b,c... y,z,aa,ab,ac...' etc. Try something like this. Maybe some else has a tidier way? for ( $i='A'; $i!='AA'; $i++ ) print $i. '<br>'; Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-21 21:13:14] delme@jumeaux.bc.ca for ($i = 'A'; $i <= 'Z'; $i++) { print $i. '<br>'; } the above code *should* produce 26 letters, but instead it counts all the way from A to YZ. A to ZZ counts from A to ZYZ, and so on. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7385
