This is a modified version of thomas' range_string() function. It's simpler, cleaner, and more robust, but it lacks the advanced features his function had, hopefully it will be of assitance to someone.
Examples:
input: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6" --> output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
input: "1-6" --> output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
input: "1-6" --> output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
input: "1 - -6" --> output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
input: "0 - 0" --> output: 0
input: "1, 4-6, 2" --> output: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
input: "6,3-1" --> output: 1, 2, 3, 6

range
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
range — Cria um array contendo uma faixa de elementos
Descrição
Cria um array contendo uma faixa de elementos
Parâmetros
- low
-
O valor mínimo.
- high
-
O valor máximo.
- step
-
Se o parâmetro step for especificado, será usado como o incremento entre os elementos da sequência. step deve ser um inteiro positivo. Se não for especificado, step terá valor igual a 1.
Valor Retornado
Retorna um array de elementos de low a high , incluindo eles. Se low > high, a seqüência será do maior para menor.
Histórico
| Versão | Descrição |
|---|---|
| 5.0.0 | O parâmetro opcional step foi adicionado. |
| 4.1.0 a 4.3.2 | Nas versões de PHP 4.1.0 até 4.3.2, range() vê strings numéricas como strings e não como inteiros. Em lugar disso, eles serão usados por seqüência de caracteres. Por exemplo, "4242" é tratado como "4". |
| 4.1.0 | Até a versão 4.1.0, a função range() só gerava arrays de inteiros em ordem crescente. O suporte para seqüências de caracteres e arrays descrescentes foi adicionado no PHP 4.1.0. Valores de seqüência de caracter estão limitados para o comprimento de um. Se um comprimento maior do que um é entrado, apenas o primeiro caractere é usado. |
Exemplos
Exemplo #1 Exemplos da range()
<?php
// array(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ,11, 12)
foreach(range(0, 12) as $numero) {
echo $numero;
}
// O parâmetro step foi introduzido no 5.0.0
// array(0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100)
foreach(range(0, 100, 10) as $numero) {
echo $numero;
}
// Utilização da sequência de caracteres introduzidos no 4.1.0
// array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i');
foreach(range('a', 'i') as $letra) {
echo $letra;
}
// array('c', 'b', 'a');
foreach(range('c', 'a') as $letra) {
echo $letra;
}
?>

Cuidado
Veja também shuffle(), array_fill(), e foreach.

Range as a string. Items are separated with a comma; which can be in any of the following formats:
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6" - output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
"1 - 6" - output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
"1 -%2 6" - output: 1, 3, 5 (last number will not be counted unless it evenly fits in)
"1 - -6" - output: 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6
"0 - 0" - output: 0
"1, 2, 3, [LAST_NUM] - 6" - output: 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6 (note repeated 3)
"1, 2, 3, [LAST_NUM+1] - 6" - output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (no repeated 3)
"1, 2, 3, [LAST_NUM+-1] - 6" - output: 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

foreach(range()) whilst efficiant in other languages, such as python, it is not (compared to a for) in php*.
php is a C-inspired language and thus for is entirely in-keeping with the lanuage aethetic to use it
<?php
//efficiant
for($i = $start; $i < $end; $i+=$step)
{
//do something with array
}
//inefficiant
foreach(range($start, $end, $step) as $i)
{
//do something with array
}
?>
That the officiant documentation doesnt mention the for loop is strange.
Note however, that in PHP5 foreach is faster than for when iterating without incrementing a variable.
* My tests using microtime and 100 000 iterations consistently (~10 times) show that for is 4x faster than foreach(range()).

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;
}
?>

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
