Here is a home rolled range() function that uses the step feature for those unfortunate souls who cannot use PHP5:
<?php
function my_range( $start, $end, $step = 1) {
$range = array();
foreach (range( $start, $end ) as $index) {
if (! (($index - $start) % $step) ) {
$range[] = $index;
}
}
return $range;
}
?>
range
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
range — Crée un tableau contenant un intervalle d'éléments
Description
Crée un tableau contenant un intervalle d'éléments.
Liste de paramètres
- low
-
Valeur basse.
- high
-
Valeur haute.
- step
-
Si une valeur est donnée au paramètre step , il sera utilisé comme valeur incrémentale entre les éléments de la séquence. step doit être exprimé comme un nombre entier positif. S'il n'est pas spécifié, step vaut par défaut 1.
Valeurs de retour
Retourne un tableau d'éléments depuis low jusqu'à high , inclusif. Si la valeur basse est supérieure à la valeur haute, la séquence sera depuis la valeur haute jusqu'à la valeur basse.
Historique
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 5.0.0 | Le paramètre optionnel step a été ajouté. |
| 4.1.0 à 4.3.2 | Dans les versions de PHP de 4.1.0 à 4.3.2, range() voyait les chaînes numériques comme des chaînes et non comme des entiers. Au lieu de cela, ils étaient utilisés comme séquence de caractères. Par exemple, "4242" était traité comme "4". |
| 4.1.0 | Avant la version PHP 4.1.0, la fonction range() ne générait que des séquences d'entiers. Le support des séquences de caractères a été ajouté en PHP 4.1.0. Les valeurs de séquence des caractères sont limitées à 1. Si la longueur est supérieure à 1, seul le premier caractère est utilisé. |
Exemples
Exemple #1 Exemple avec range()
<?php
// array(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
foreach (range(0, 12) as $number) {
echo $number;
}
// La paramètre de pas (step) a été introduit en version 5.0.0
// array(0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100)
foreach (range(0, 100, 10) as $number) {
echo $number;
}
// L'utilisation des caractères a été introduit en version 4.1.0
// array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i');
foreach (range('a', 'i') as $letter) {
echo $letter;
}
// array('c', 'b', 'a');
foreach (range('c', 'a') as $letter) {
echo $letter;
}
?>

Here's how i use it to check if array is associative or not:
<?php
if (array_keys($arr)===range(0, sizeof($arr)-1)) {
// not associative array
} else {
// associative array
}
?>

A much simpler way of creating a range of even numbers is by starting with an even number:
<?php
range(2, 10, 2);
?>

since its not stated explicitly above, thought id point out that you arent limited to using integers.
however, be careful when doing so, as you might not get the range you expect!
to illustrate:
<?php
$am = range(500,1600,10);
$fm = range(88.1,107.9,.2);
print_r($am);
print_r($fm);
?>
print_r($am) yields the expected result:
Array
(
[0] => 500
[1] => 510
[2] => 520
...
[109] => 1590
[110] => 1600
)
print_r($fm), however, falls a bit (1%) short:
Array
(
[0] => 88.1
[1] => 88.3
[2] => 88.5
...
[97] => 107.5
[98] => 107.7
)
so, if you want to use a non-integral step size params for numeric ranges, be sure to account for fp representation accuracy and error accumulation; a step size of something like pi or 1/10 could spell disaster for a large range. if in doubt, use integral steps and divide ... something like <?php range(88.1,108,.2) ?> might work to recover 107.9, but would not be scalable like, say <?php array_map(create_function('$x','return $x/10;'),range(881,1079,2)) ?>.

This should emulate range() a little better.
<?php
function range_wroar($low, $high, $step = 1) {
$arr = array();
$step = (abs($step)>0)?abs($step):1;
$sign = ($low<=$high)?1:-1;
if(is_numeric($low) && is_numeric($high)) {
//numeric sequence
for ($i = (float)$low; $i*$sign <= $high*$sign; $i += $step*$sign)
$arr[] = $i;
} else {
//character sequence
if (is_numeric($low))
return $this->range($low, 0, $step);
if (is_numeric($high))
return $this->range(0, $high, $step);
$low = ord($low);
$high = ord($high);
for ($i = $low; $i*$sign <= $high*$sign; $i += $step*$sign) {
$arr[] = chr($i);
}
}
return $arr;
}
?>

i figured i'd add some more functionality to the myRange() functions below.
now you can, besides giving a $step parameter,
1. count backwards
2. count with letters
3. give whatever parameter you want, there's nothing (i know of) that will cause an endless loop (try a negative $step for the previous function....)
<?php
function myRange($num1, $num2, $step=1)
{
if (is_numeric($num1) && is_numeric($num2))
{
//we have a numeric range
$step = ( abs($step)>0 ? abs($step) : 1 ); //make $step positive
$dir = ($num1<=$num2 ? 1 : -1); //get the direction
for($i = (float)$num1; $i*$dir <= $num2*$dir; $i += $step*$dir)
{
$temp[] = $i;
}
}
else
{
//we have a character range
$num1=ord((string)$num1); //convert to ascii value
$num2=ord((string)$num2);
$step = ( abs($step)>0 ? abs($step) : 1 ); //make $step positive
$dir = ($num1<=$num2 ? 1 : -1); //get direction
for($i = $num1; $i*$dir <= $num2*$dir; $i += $step*$dir)
{
$temp[] = chr($i);
}
}
return $temp;
}
print_r(myRange( 1, 3, 0.5 )); //you can use fractional steps
print_r(myRange( "a", "k", 3 )); //or count letters
print_r(myRange( "5", "9" )); //numbers are detected even if hidden in strtings
print_r(myRange( "!", "%", 1/pi() )); //or mess around with senseless parameters

To speed your MyRange() function, I have created a much nicer function with less code to sift through to include the step parameter.
<?php
// range() limitation for PHP <5.0.0
function myRange($num1, $num2, $step=1)
{
for($i = $num1; $i <= $num2; $i += $step)
{
$temp[] = $i;
}
return $temp;
}
?>
For whatever reason my comment was deleted..?

Since users of < PHP 5.0.0 don't have the option of the step parameter, I've created a little function to account for it:
@USAGE: (int low, int high [, int step])
function myRange($low,$high,$step=1)
{
$ranArray = range($low,$high);
$step--;
$keys = count($ranArray);
for($i=0;$i<$keys;$i++)
{
$retArray[] = $ranArray[$i];
$i = $i + $step;
}
return $retArray;
}
// Example usage:
print_r(myRange(1,11,2));
// Returns the array:
// [0] => 1
// [1] => 3
// [2] => 5
// [3] => 7
// [4] => 9
// [5] => 11
