What will happened after reaching letter Z? In example below it will reset. I think you need to create an array and index to it. So when user click button index goes +1. Index will be on session because it has to store number. Am beginner too and trying to figure it out. Example:

session_start();
$alphabet = array('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z');

if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {

    if($_SESSION["Number"] == 0) {
        print_r($alphabet[0] . "002255");
        $_SESSION["Number"] += 1;
    } else {
        print_r($alphabet[$_SESSION["Number"]] . "002255");
        $_SESSION["Number"] += 1;

        if($_SESSION["Number"] > 26) {
            $_SESSION["Number"] = 0;
        }
    }
}
