 i have this cute little problem.

sounds more like a homework assignment. by now you know range(),
by all means have array_map() too:

array_map(print_r, range(a,z));

 i want to print a to z for site navigation
 my first attempt work fine
 
 for($i = '65'; $i  '91'; ++$i)
   echo chr($i);
 
 but someone point me a more interesting solutions
 
 for($i = 'a'; $i  'z'; ++$i)
   echo $i
 
 the only problem with the 2nd solutions is it only print up to Y without z.
 so how to print up to z with the 2nd solutions? because it turn out
 that you cant to something
 like for($i = 'a'; $i = 'z'; ++$i)..

STFA - Rasmus Lerdorf has explained exactly why this works the
way it does more than once IIRC.

 thanks

I used that notation before, and it did not work 100%. 
Adapt as follows:

for ($i = 'a'; $i = 'z'; $i++)
if ($i == aa) break; else echo $i;

It's weird, but true--the simple '=' breaks the loop.

However, in the above example, you don't need the 'else'; the 'break'
ensures that the 'echo $i'; will not execute.

You can step around the the problem more elegantly:

for ($i = 'a'; $i !== 'aa'; $i++) {
   echo $i;
}
