Looking for an alternative to the range() function

It is not working on an older version of PHP that I am stuck using.

According to the PHP manual:

Note: Prior to PHP version 4.1.0, range() only generated incrementing integer arrays. Support for character sequences and decrementing arrays was added in 4.1.0. Character sequence values are limited to a length of one. If a length greater than one is entered, only the first character is used.

If you know of a way of getting the same result as this function, I would really appreciate your help.

Just write it yourself. It's a simple loop construct.

function trantronRange($min,$max,$step=1){
  # loop
  for($i=intval($min);$i+intval($step);$i<=intval($max)){
      $tArray[] = $i;
  }
  return($tArray);
}

Better even, upgrade that obsolotete PHP or change your host.
