too long

Question

So I have researched numerous sites but haven't come across a solid answer yet. I need to: Increment aaz to aba in PHP without getting an extra character aaz --> aaaa

This is the code i have used which is incrementing my code correctly until it gets to aaz then it goes to aaaa. the full code im incrementing is AAA001

heres my code:

<?php

$player_code_array =  array(
  'letter_3' => chr(65), 
  'letter_2' => chr(65), 
  'letter_1' => chr(65), 
  'number_3' => '0', 
  'number_2' => '0', 
  'number_1' => '1'
);


$counter = 0;
while ($counter < 100000) {
$player_code =  $player_code_array['letter_3'].
                $player_code_array['letter_2'].
                $player_code_array['letter_1'].
                $player_code_array['number_3'].
                $player_code_array['number_2'].
                $player_code_array['number_1'];
        if ($player_code_array['number_1'] < 11) {
            $player_code_array['number_1']++;
            echo $player_code.'<br>';
        }if ($player_code_array['number_1'] == 10) {
            $player_code_array['number_1'] = 0;
            $player_code_array['number_2']++;
        }if ($player_code_array['number_2'] == 10) {
            $player_code_array['number_2'] = 0;
            $player_code_array['number_3']++;
        }if ($player_code_array['number_3'] == 10) {
            $player_code_array['number_3'] = 0;
            $player_code_array['letter_1']++;
        }if ($player_code_array['letter_1'] == 91) {
            $player_code_array['letter_1'] = 65;
        }if ($player_code_array['letter_2'] == 91) {
            $player_code_array['letter_2'] = 65;
            $player_code_array['letter_3']++;
        }if ($player_code_array['letter_3'] == 90) {
            $counter = 999999999999999999;
        }
$counter++;
}

?>

The counter is looping it for me as many times as i need it top be looped. so my code can get incremented.
