RE: [PHP] stepping through alphabet

I was hoping for something that looked (at least to me) a little cleaner. Someone else gave me the answer and here is my final code that works out just great for me.

        for($letter = 'A', $i = 0; $i <= 25; $letter++, $i++ ){
                echo "<a href=\"?action=alphabet&letter=$letter\">$letter</a> ";
        }

Amazing what I learned today. :) I love this list and its people. Thanks for your help Steve At 08:15 AM 11/19/2003, you wrote:

Create a $letters array and the loop through it like this: $letters=array('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z'); foreach($letters as $letter) {

        echo "<a href=\"?action=alphabet&letter=$letter\">$letter</a>\n";

I am sure that this has been done and is probably pretty easy. Any help here would be appreciated. I know that I could just create a link for each letter, but I would like to learn to do this so that I can make code shorter. Putting each letter into an array and steping through the array will work, but can it be done by telling a loop to start at A and end at Z?
