Bug #10529 Updated: for() error

ID: 10529 Updated by: andi Reported By: mottalli@sinectis.com.ar Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Assigned To: Comments: This happens because PHP works on strings and the increment of "Z" as a string is "AA". "AA" is smaller than "Z". Andi Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-27 16:05:57] mottalli@sinectis.com.ar I agree the code was a bit strange, but I found it weird that it worked with any letter but Z. The suggested code worked. Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-27 15:23:07] cnewbill@php.net I'm not even sure that is supposed to work like that. Guys? Why don't you use this instead? for ($i = ord('A'); $i <= ord('Z'); $i++) { echo chr($i)."<br>"; } --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-27 15:06:25] mottalli@sinectis.com.ar Trying to make a script that showed the letters from A to Z using the following code: for ($i = 'A'; $i <= 'Z'; $i++) { echo "$i<br>"; } I saw that the script outputted the first letters (A-Z) but then it started to display AA, AB, AC [...] YZ. Replacing the 'Z' above to 'Y' (or any other letter between B and Y) makes the script show correctly the letters from A to that letter. Replacing letters to lowercase and/or single quotation marks to double causes the same error. This happened both in PHP 4.0.4pl1 under Windows and in PHP 4.0.1pl1 under Linux. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
