Using PHP you can create an array to retrieve letters from:

Code: Select all

 
$letters = range('a', 'z');
 
...
 
foreach (range('a', 'z') as $letter) {
    echo $letter;
}

One more option to display characters

Code: Select all

 
For Uppercase A - Z
for($i=65;$i<=90;$i++)
{   echo chr($i); }
 
For Lowercase a - z
for($i=97;$i<=122;$i++)
{   echo chr($i); }
