Trying to write a simple alphabet program with php

Im trying to spit out each letter of the alphabet from an array on a single line, A-Z.

This is what my code looks like so far:

$alphabet = 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");

while ($alphabet) {
   echo $alphabet;
   $alphabet;
}

Im kinda stuck at this part and not quite sure what else to write to make this work. Any suggestions?

This might be help full for you

$alphabet = 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");

$c = sizeof($alphabet);    
for($i= 0; $i < $c ; $i++) {    
    echo $alphabet[$i];    
}

and you can use count($alphabet) instead of sizeof() built-in function

Use range and array_walk:

function e($s) { echo $s; }
array_walk(range('A', 'Z'), 'e');

I am not sure why you need the array... This is why we have the ASCII code. You can do is like this:

for ($i = 65; $i <=90; $i++)
{
    echo chr($i) . PHP_EOL;
}

chr() displays the character in the ASCII map - check it here: http://www.danshort.com/ASCIImap/. If you want to do lowercase - just use strtolower() or the numbers between 97-122 instead. PHP_EOL is a built in constant that outputs end of line. You can change it with ."
" if you are doing HTML.

I think range is a little bit longer to be done, but it still works.

$alphabet = 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");

foreach($alphabet as $letter) {
echo $letter;
}
