and failed since it takes ages to process and does not really return a proper value/result but repetitive number such as 11111..........

I think you forgot to increment $x. Add an "$x++" at the end of your loop and it works. And by the way: It's better to write "$result .= $holder" if you want to append a string to another. That's shorter and (more important) faster.
