Building strings

[The Little Guy]

That's ok. You can just use my native first name: dromodorialmakirvahumvete

 

That will take for ever.... but its calculating.... I am 100% sure this could be done using a formula

This just really shows how geeky php freaks we really are, ha ha.

 

I just did this up so can do ranges in groups with being able to set lower and maximum limits for the groups.

I only played with it a little bit, so just be careful with it, ehh, maybe set an extreme maximum limit to it or something.

 

I was doing by letter and letter position amounts but I quit on it.

Something like start from rrrr to rzzz or similar.

 

<?php
$group = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['group']);
if (!isset($_GET['group']) or $_GET['group'] == '') {
$group = 1;
}
$lower = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['lower']);
$increase = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['increase']);

$alphabet_count = 26;
$maximum_range = $alphabet_count*$group;
$minimum_range = $maximum_range-25;
$increase = $maximum_range+$increase;
?>

<form name="input" action="" method="get">
Group:<input size="30"type="text" name="group" style="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: #000000;" size="15" value="<?php echo $group; ?>">
Lower:<input size="30"type="text" name="lower" style="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: #000000;" size="15" value="<?php echo $lower; ?>">
Increase:<input size="30"type="text" name="increase" style="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: #000000;" size="15" value="<?php echo $increase; ?>">
<input type="submit" style="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: #000000;" size="15" value="Set" />
</form>

<?php
function seqAlphabet($numbers)
{
  $alphabet = '';
  while($numbers >= 1) {
    $numbers = $numbers - 1;
    $alphabet = chr(($numbers % 26)+97) . $alphabet;
    $numbers = $numbers / 26;
  }
  return $alphabet;
}

$string_position = range($lower,$increase);
foreach ($string_position as $position) {
echo seqAlphabet($position) . "<br />";
}
?>
