I don't know if the post Anonymous made on Oct 13 2011 explains this or not, because I had a
problem with that approach. The following (same as his/her 2nd code snippet) would not work at all,
and my script would stop unexpectedly and display a blank page!
<?php
for ($i = 'A'; $i =< 'Z'; $i++)
{
echo '<a href="dictionary.html?alph=' . $i . '">' . $i .
'</a>';
}
?>
I'm not sure why this should be the case. Perhaps unlike Anonymous' experience, instead of
going until 'YZ', my script just kept adding more character "digits" in a
never-ending loop?
In contrast, using the manual's example works like a charm. That is what I would recommend for
iterating through the alphabet.
