While trying to print A-Z... This spews A-Z, then AA-YZ, then stops, most likely from a timeout. <?php for ($x = 'A'; $x <= 'Z'; $x++) { echo "$x\n"; } ?> This works as expected. <?php for ($y = 0, $x = 'A'; $x <= 'Z', $y < 26; $y++, $x++) { echo "$x\n"; } ?> Most likely the first one hits the execution time-limit, and that's why it finally stops. What I can't figure out is why it would do A-Z and then start over at AA since the $x <= 'Z' should kill the loop. Removing the single quotes (trying for ASCII values) doesn't fix the problem... -Mike
