Note Submitter: Ray dot Paseur at Gmail dot com ---- Be VERY careful if you use range() to generate an array of numeric strings. Even though the input is quoted, the resulting array contains integers, not strings. <?php // RAY_temp_range.php error_reporting(E_ALL); // A RANGE OF NUMBERS $numbrs = range("0", "9"); // AN ARRAY OF NUMERIC CHARACTERS $alphas = array(); foreach ($numbrs as $n) { $alphas[] = "$n"; } // THEY LOOK THE SAME print_r($numbrs); echo "<br/>"; print_r($alphas); // BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT echo "<pre>"; var_dump($numbrs); var_dump($alphas);
