range() is good, but what I was getting at was a shorthand/shortcut/alternate syntax kinda thing. Mike Julio Nobrega Trabalhando wrote:

If this is the wrong place for it, please point me to the right place. This is real small, though.. I'd like to see a shorthand for defining arrays.. for example $ucase_alphabet = array(['A'..'Z']); (creates an array of all alphabet characters, uppercase) $numeric = array([1..100]); Or something of that sort. Just something that popped into my mind. PHP feels like a language that has been built on little suggestions like this, so I thought I'd post it. :) Mike
