# range

(3.0.8 - 3.0.18 only, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

range -- Create an array containing a range of elements

## Description

``array range` (mixed low, mixed high)`

range() returns an array of elements from `low` to `high`, inclusive. If low > high, the sequence will be from high to low.

Example 1. range() examples
    foreach(range(0, 9) as $number) {
        echo $number;
    }
    foreach(range('a', 'z') as $letter) {
        echo $letter;
    }
    foreach(range('z', 'a') as $letter) {
        echo $letter;
    }

> Note: Prior to version 4.1.0 the range() function only generated incrementing integer arrays. Support for character sequences and decrementing arrays was added in 4.1.0.

See shuffle() for another example of its use.
