numbering items in regex

I searched google for such solution but I couldn't find, I want to generate number beside each matched item, for example in emmet: If I wrote the following in my IDE that supports emmet:

ul>li.item$*5

It will generate:

<ul>
    <li class="item1"></li>
    <li class="item2"></li>
    <li class="item3"></li>
    <li class="item4"></li>
    <li class="item5"></li>
</ul>

Is there a way to accomplish the same in Regex?

Thanx for your advice,

To generate a list with PHP you can use a simple loop, you don't need regex.

<ul>
    <?php for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) : ?>

    <li class="item<?= $i; ?>"></li>

    <?php endfor; ?>
</ul>
