note 90555 added to function.str-repeat

Here is a simple one liner to repeat a string multiple times with a separator: <?php implode($separator, array_fill(0, $multiplier, $input)); ?> Example script: <?php // How I like to repeat a string using standard PHP functions $input = 'bar'; $multiplier = 5; $separator = ','; print implode($separator, array_fill(0, $multiplier, $input)); print "\n"; // Say, this comes in handy with count() on an array that we want to use in an // SQL query such as 'WHERE foo IN (...)' $args = array('1', '2', '3'); print implode(',', array_fill(0, count($args), '?')); print "\n"; ?> Example Output: bar,bar,bar,bar,bar ?,?,? ---- Server IP: 117.55.229.1 Probable Submitter: 210.10.53.49 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-repeat.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90555 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90555/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90555/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90555/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90555/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90555/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90555/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90555 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90555 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
