The order is A-Z, a-z.

<?php

$init = ord('A');
$end  = ord('z');

printf("Init.: %d | End.: %d\n", $init, $end);

for ($i = $init; $i <= $end; $i++) {
    print chr($i);
}
print "\n";

?>

Description:
------------
range('a', 'Z') gives random junk

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
foreach (range('a', 'Z') as $letter) {
   echo $letter;
   }
?>


Expected result:
----------------
a-z and A-Z (wishful thinking?) 

I am trying to recreate Perl's "@a=('a'..'z', 'A'..'Z');"

Actual result:
--------------
a`_^]\[Z
