Description

array array_fill ( int start_index, int num, mixed value)

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.

<?php

$a = array_fill(5, 6, 'banana');

print_r($a);

    [5]  => banana

    [7]  => banana

    [8]  => banana

    [9]  => banana
