[RESOLVED] prev next links with ABC not 123

fr8

Im looking at having pagination with my ABC links. I can do this very easy with 123 but I cant seem to figure out a way to make it for ABC. Here is what I have to far.

        foreach(range('A','Z') as $alphaKey){
                echo '<a href="'.$PHP_SELF.'?key='.$alphaKey.'">'.$alphaKey.'</a> | ';
                }

So your pages will be numbered A - B - C instead of 1, 2, 3

Uppercase ASCII letters are numbered 65 through 90, so you could get that range and use chr() for each number to get the correct letter.

Its for a direcoty. You can click A and it shows everything listed in A. I have a 123 pagination script for the directorys. I just thought it would be nice to be able to move through the letters as easy as you can do with the pagination script.

Got that running smoothly. Its just like any other pagination script when you start using ascii to get your characters. Just added an ifelse to make sure no odd ball characters show up. Thanks for that insight.

                if($key > 90 || $key < 65){
                        //Makes nothing show up in the search results.
                        $newkey = 'fe289c44f01f46a43f6360f8265e3e1d929af793';
                        }else{
                                $newkey = chr($key);
                                }
