Gak! That's almost worse than the original!!

1. You have unquoted strings -- should be 'A' and 'Z'.

2. The test condition in your for is wrong (and either that or the break is redundant).

Here's how I'd write it:

   for ($j='A'; $j!='AA'; $j++):
     echo "| <b> <a href='alpha.php?artist=$j'>$j</a></b> |";
   endfor;

Cheers!
