Fill an array like in Perl?

[Anon]

Hi,

I would love to fill an array in PHP just like the way I do in PERL, namely:

$my_arr = array (1 .. 999);

Sure, I could write a function like this,

function return_filled_array($start, $end)
{
if($start>=$end) return 0;
for ($i=$start; $i<=$end; $i++) {
$arr[] = $i;
}
return $arr;
}

but this is not what I want 🙂

Thanks,
Mike

As far as I know PHP doesn't let you do that, so you'll have to use your custom function.
