letter counter

[dingus]

ok im stuck and its hard to describe the issue because if i could i would Google for it

 

but here it is

 

i basically need a simple peace of code to incroment by letters

 

a

b

c

d

...

aa

ab

ac

ad

....

ba

bb

bc

bd

..

..

..

..

aaa

aab

..

aba

abb

 

 

basically i want it to generate a list like that (and i know it will end up as a big ass list and probably have memory issues at some point) but can some one please point me in the right direction?

You could make some code similar to this

 

<?php
//one letter
$letter=0;
while($letter<26){
echo $letters[$letter]."\n";
$letter++;
}
//two letters
$letter=0;
while($letter<26){
$letter_b=0;
while($letter_b<26){
	echo $letters[$letter].$letters[$letter_b]."\n";
	$letter_b++;
}
$letter++;

}
?>

sorry left out this

 

$letters=array('a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z');

 

needs to be at the top of my code

i didnt think of doing it that way however it works (and i assumed the array) i was going nuts with recursive functions calls and the like lol

 

thanks for the help
