Description

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.

<?php
$a = array_fill(5, 6, 'banana');

				[7]  => banana
				[8]  => banana
				[9]  => banana
