`Here is a simple one liner to repeat a string multiple times with a separator:
multiplier,multiplier, multiplier,input)); ?>Example script:
multiplier,multiplier, 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
?,?,?

Damien Bezborodov , yeah but execution time of your solution is 3-5 times worse than str_replace.
i<100000;i < 100000; i<100000;i++) { spam(10); } echo microtime(true) - $before , "\n"; // 0.010297 $before = microtime(true); for ($i = 0; i<100000;i < 100000; i<100000;i++) { spam2(10); } echo microtime(true) - $before; // 0.032104 ` [ **_claude dot pache at gmail dot com_**](#88830)[ ¶](#88830) **16 years ago** `Here is a shorter version of Kees van Dieren's function below, which is moreover compatible with the syntax of str_repeat: multiplier,multiplier, multiplier,separator='') { return multiplier==0?′′:strrepeat(multiplier==0 ? '' : str_repeat(multiplier==0?′′:strrepeat(input.$separator, multiplier−1).multiplier-1).multiplier−1).input; } ?>`

`hi guys ,
i've faced this example :
<?php
$my_head
= str_repeat("°~", 35);
echo $my_head;?>
so , the length should be 35x2 = 70 !!!
if we echo it :
be carefull with characters and try to use mb_* package to make sure everything goes well ...
