# array_fill

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)

array_fill -- Fill an array with values

## Description

array array_fill ( int start_index, int num, mixed value )

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.

Example 1. array_fill() example
`<?php $a = array_fill(5, 6, 'banana'); print_r($a); ?>`
$a now is:
    Array
    (
        [5]  => banana
        [6]  => banana
        [7]  => banana
        [8]  => banana
        [9]  => banana
        [10] => banana
    )
