[PHP] BUG?: for loop using chars

2002-05-16 Thread Erich Reimberg N 

Hello,

I'm trying to generate this list of letters A..Z, using this

   for ($l='A'; $l<='Z'; $l++)
  echo $l."-";

And it doesn't work. It generates the output included at the end of
this message (I used  to be shorter)

But this works
   for ($l='A'; $l<='Y'; $l++)
  echo $l."-";
generating the expected output.

IS this a bug in PHP?

Any help? Please, if you can, Cc to my email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

TIA,
Erich

[PHP] NEED BOOK: DB Abstaction

2001-05-24 Thread Erich Reimberg N. 

Hello,

  Can anyone here, please, recommend me a good book that covers the
DB abstracion that has PHP4? Most of the books only deal with MySQL,
and that's not always my choice for a DB administrator. So I need
to program scripts that can connect to any DB.

  I use this in ASP: I write a tiny script that only connects to
a DB, and then I include it in any script that needs DB connectivity.
Then, If I change the DB, I only change the tiny script, and the
rest works just like before.
(By the way, is it possible to do this in PHP at all? I believe it
is)

  Please, if you have any books you can recommend Cc to my email 
address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks,
Erich Reimberg N

[PHP] Date/Time Arithmetic

2001-04-11 Thread Erich Reimberg N. 

Hello,

   Is it possible to do some arithmetic with time/date values in PHP? 
for example, to calculate:

   today + 1050 days.
   today - 7 days.
   etc.

I mean, does PHP have functions to perform these operations? 

Thanks,
Erich Reimberg.

PS. I'm new to PHP, and I didn't find anything like this in the FAQ
Please Cc to my email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], for there are many
posts in this group that my server seems to loose.
