"Very useful"

I've just found something very useful! I'd never tried it before and I needed to create a list of letters, so I thought "hmmm, let's give it a go". And it works!


for ($i='A'; $i<='H'; $i++)
{
echo " $i\n";
}

?>

You can increment letters just as you do numbers. I never knew that!

No no, I do need that.

A web site I'm building at the moment requires a dropdown box with the letters A-Z in. It just saves me a bit of time.

EDIT: By the way, does anyone here have any experience of PHP5 - specifically when used in conjunction with the MySQLi library - I couldn't get it to work, despite the library being loaded successfully, the PHP just wouldn't work.

Why the hell would you want that?

Unless you were being sarcastic....

Lol, tis my pleasure. It will be very useful when I require a dropdown list with the entire alphabet in!

That's pretty cool actually, and I'm sure it's useful for some reason too.

Thanks for making my life a better place to live.
