You can use the solution found here http://stereofrog.com/blok/on/070910.
Incase the link goes down here's the code....
class Combinations implements Iterator
{
protected $c = null;
protected $s = null;
protected $n = 0;
protected $k = 0;
protected $pos = 0;
function __construct($s, $k) {
if(is_array($s)) {
$this->s = array_values($s);
$this->n = count($this->s);
} else {
$this->s = (string) $s;
$this->n = strlen($this->s);
}
$this->k = $k;
$this->rewind();
}
function key() {
return $this->pos;
}
function current() {
$r = array();
for($i = 0; $i < $this->k; $i++)
$r[] = $this->s[$this->c[$i]];
return is_array($this->s) ? $r : implode('', $r);
}
function next() {
if($this->_next())
$this->pos++;
else
$this->pos = -1;
}
function rewind() {
$this->c = range(0, $this->k);
$this->pos = 0;
}
function valid() {
return $this->pos >= 0;
}
protected function _next() {
$i = $this->k - 1;
while ($i >= 0 && $this->c[$i] == $this->n - $this->k + $i)
$i--;
if($i < 0)
return false;
$this->c[$i]++;
while($i++ < $this->k - 1)
$this->c[$i] = $this->c[$i - 1] + 1;
return true;
}
