Just to save a bit of code - is there an easier way without typing out

foreach (range("A","Z") as $v){$variables[] = $v;}

foreach (range("1","9") as $v){$variables[] = $v;}

Effectively making one array with all letters & numbers

Highly inefficient, but no typing of characters:

for ($i = 49; $i < 122; $i++) {
if ($i == 95) continue; // skip underscore
if (preg_match('/\w/', chr($i))) $variables[] = chr($i);

}

It would be better to array_merge the three ranges:

$variables = array_merge(range('A','Z'),range('a','z'),range(1,9));

Keeping the original format also allows you to add/delete included
characters in a more convenient way.

Hi,

Thanks for that - I thought I'd tried the array_merge but obviously
wasn't doing something properly.

Thanks
