Hi Andrea,

Try:

foreach(range('a', 'z') as $lt_1){
foreach(range('a', 'z') as $lt_2){
foreach(range('a', 'z') as $lt_3){
echo $lt_1.$lt_2.$lt_3."<br>";
}
}
}

Hy, i tried modifing range('a', 'z') into range("a","z","0","9") but it
gives an error. Sorry, but i'm new to php.
Any help?

Then experiment. Try range('0','z') or range('a','9') and see what
happens. The best way to learn is to try things out.
