What a funny way to say gethostbyname(str_repeat("0", 2501));
Wow, I somehow missed the interpolation of $e into the value… <self-slap>.
Guess I was too focused on looking to the loop as the important part when
really, it’s just stupid code, as you point out, probably written by someone
who knows little about PHP.
With that in mind, there is obviously no unintended side-effect at work here.
Sorry for wasting everyone’s time… as you were.
