Re: [PHP] stepping through alphabet

[Steve Buehler]

YES!!!!  That is the kind of code that I was looking for.  I never thought 
you could do it like that either.  Meaning putting 2 things to do 
($letter++ and $i++) into the loop in this fashion.  This looks so much 
cleaner to me.  Here is my final function now.
        for($letter = 'A', $i = 0; $i <= 25; $letter++, $i++ ){
                echo "<a 
href=\"?action=alphabet&letter=$letter\">$letter</a> ";
        }

Thank You So Much
Steve

Maybe you can try this

Hope this helps
The for loop is backwards....

for ($letter = 'A'; $letter <= 'Z'; $letter++)

However, I don't think that will work, you probably need to do something 
like this (untested)....

for ( $letter = 'A', $i = 0; $i <= 25; $letter++, $i++ )

I am using PHP 4.3.4 and am trying to come up with a function that will 
step through the alphabet so that I get a menu/links that can be clicked 
on like below:
<a href="?action=alphabet&letter=A">A</a>
<a href="?action=alphabet&letter=B">B</a>
<a href="?action=alphabet&letter=C">C</a>
etc...........

I am sure that this has been done and is probably pretty easy.  Any help 
here would be appreciated.  I know that I could just create a link for 
each letter, but I would like to learn to do this so that I can make 
code shorter.  Putting each letter into an array and steping through the 
array will work, but can it be done by telling a loop to start at A and 
end at Z?

Thanks
Steve
