Maths. with a difference.

Is there a way to return a number repeated n number times?

For example, I have X, and I want X to be repeated, as a string rather than an int/float, N times, not in the sense: N x X or N^X. I want N to be NNNNNNNN where X = 8; ie N repeated 8 times (or X times).

I hope that makes sense.

PS I just wrote this:

// repeat string function
function repeatStr ($str, $n) {
for ($x = 0; $x < $n; $++) {
$r .= $str;
}

return $r;

}
