Another way, using hexdec(), dechex() and array_map().

 $range = array_map('dechex', range(hexdec('ABC001'), hexdec('ABC010')));

Arithmetic operations on character variables don't work with the range() function:

Character sequence values are limited to a length of one. If a length greater than one is entered, only the first character is used.

You need to roll your own code, e.g.:

$from = 'ABC001';
$to = 'ABC010';
$range = [];
for ($i = $from; $i <= $to; $i++) {
    $range[] = $i;
}
var_dump($range);
