array_fill() fills an array with num entries of the value of the value parameter, keys starting at the start_index parameter. Note that num must be a number greater than zero, or PHP will throw a warning.

Example 1. array_fill() example

 <?php
$a = array_fill(5, 6, 'banana');
print_r($a);
?>

$a now is:

Array (     [5]  => banana     [6]  => banana     [7]  => banana     [8]  => banana     [9]  => banana     [10] => banana )

See also str_repeat() and range().
