Variable's defining array contents.

[Michdd]

I need help creating something that will insert a certain number defined by a variable, of each thing into an array.

 

For example:

 

$thing1 = "5";
$thing2 = "15";

 

Then it would insert $thing1 into the array 5 times, and $thing2 15 times. In an array like this:

 

array("thing1", "thing1", "thing1", "thing1", "thing1", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2", "thing2");

That says it outputs something like this:

 

Array
(
    [5]  => banana
    [6]  => banana
    [7]  => banana
    [8]  => banana
    [9]  => banana
    [10] => banana
)

Is that the same as what I want?
