Equivalent Perl Shortcut?

[rinjani]

In perl I can write:
my @alphanum = (0..9, 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z');

To get an alphanumeric array. Is there a similar short hand in PHP?

$my_array = array("0-9,a-z,A-Z");

and similar variations don't give the effect.

I tried some combinations of [0-9][a-z][A-Z] as in Regular expressions as well, but that doesn't work (or I didn't try enough variations).

Thanks in advance

Have a look at the range() function.
www.php.net/range
and
www.php.net/array_merge
