While dmarsh's function is nice it duplicates the function str_pad().
str_repeat is good when you want the entire string repeated.
For instance, if you want to put 6 's in somewhere, str_pad will cut it off at odd
places whereas str_repeat will return 6 full  's.
the following will return the same result as dmarsh's code.
$t = "-=-";
print str_pad('',0,$t)."\n";
print str_pad('',1,$t)."\n";
print str_pad('',2,$t)."\n";
...etc.
