Yes, I can see that causing problems. I think it's necessary to leave the capability to generate character sequences in there now, though, for all sorts of backwards-compatibility reasons. My change to range() (the addition of the "step" parameter) was primarily inspired by Python's range() function, described here: http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html#l2h-47 The Python version does not handle characters, which (as we both agree) is the "better" implementation. -- Jon Parise (jon@php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/)
