I agree with [1] and [2], but [3] is where we part company. You see, if you are right, then "aaa" would also be less than "z", but that doesn't appear so.

Of course it is. php -r 'echo "aaa" < "z";' 1

You missed the point, why does -- for ($i="a"; $i<="z"; $i++) { echo($i); } -- not continue past "aaa"? Clearly, if "aaa" is less than "z" then why does the loop stop at "yz"?

I thought I explained that a few times. The sequence is: a b c ... x y z aa ab ac ... yx yy yz za zb zc ... zy zx zz aaa aab Your loop stops at yz and doesn't get anywhere near aaa because za > z -Rasmus
