note 96004 added to function.empty

Some programming languages have the ability to create variables with a replicating string/char as it's contents. For example: $space5 = space(5); I do not see any equivalent in PHP. function replicatestr($numsize, $padchar) { $zerostr = ""; while ($numsize) { $zerostr .= $padchar; $numsize--; } return $zerostr; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 122.164.182.60 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96004 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96004/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96004/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96004/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96004/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96004/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96004/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96004 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96004 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
