array_fill -- Fill an array with values

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.

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
)
