[RESOLVED] Create a pattern of words/letters. Confusing.

[The-Master]

Well This is really difficult to explain so bear with me. I have created a really long script which is very awkward consisting of a 65 line function and lots of while and if statements and I as I continue the code it is getting very difficult to recreate.

What I want is my script to output a list of values like this:

  1
  2
  3
  4
  5
  6
  7
  8
  9
  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
  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
  11
  21
  31
  41
  51
  61
  71
  81
  91
  a1
  b1
  c1
  d1
  e1
  f1
  g1
  h1
  i1
  j1
  k1
  l1
  m1
  n1
  o1
  p1
  q1
  r1
  s1
  t1
  u1
  v1
  w1
  x1
  y1
  z1
  A1
  B1
  C1
  D1
  E1
  F1
  G1
  H1
  I1
  J1
  K1
  L1
  M1
  N1
  O1
  P1
  Q1
  R1
  S1
  T1
  U1
  V1
  W1
  X1
  Y1
  Z1
  12
  22
  32

I hope you get the point. Is there a way to continue increasing this so that it goes through every possible value like above and when it reaches a number it has been to before it simply increases the number of characters.

Sorry about this strange question. Its Difficult to explain.

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

for ($i = 0; $i <= 10; $i++) {
foreach ($num as $out) {
    echo $out;
	if($i !=0)	echo $i;
	 echo "\n";
}
}

quick and dirty, if i understood the question correctly, but the real question is -- What is this code for?

Thanks very much!!!! The code is going to go towards a script which will test how easily a password can be cracked for users. I have set up a dictionary tester for the first test and then this test will be run and the user can check back several days later and a rating will be given as to how secure the password is. They input the md5 encryption of their password and get given a link which they can check back.

This is more what I wanted but thanks for giving me that.

<?
$num =array_merge( range(1, 9),range(a, z),range(A, Z));

foreach ($num as $in) {
foreach ($num as $out) {
    echo $out;
        echo $in;
     echo "\n";
}
}

I suspect there are better ways to do this, but im not a good theoretical coder so nothing comes personally to mind there are proberly algorithms out there to determine password strength -oh well glad it worked (sort of).
