Repeat a character N times

Question

Is there any other way to print 40 dots in php?

I have this in my mind but I think this is wrong.. maybe there was a way like this.

<?php print(".",40);  ?>

Is it possible to do in that way? without the use of looping?

Answer 1

If you don't want to use any loop then the PHP function str_repeat() will work correctly here. Another approach is to do this by the use of arrays.

Answer 2

Yes ! use the str_repeat function:

echo str_repeat('.', 40);
