In that case, it's no longer a feature request--it's a document bug. The document is very clear in stating that the argument must be greater than zero. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-02 05:14:43] [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is no such restriction: [derick@kossu derick]$ php <?php $a = 'test'; $b = 0; echo "[".str_repeat ($a, $b)."]\n"; ?> [] And the source as only this message: "Second argument to %s() has to be greater than or equal to 0" Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-02 03:06:23] [EMAIL PROTECTED] str_repeat() has the arbitary restriction that the multiplier argument has to be greater than zero. This is pointless and annoying. It's obvious that the right thing to do is to return an empty string for a multiplier of zero, and this can be done with one line of code along the lines of if ( 0 == mult ) return ""; Why not remove this restriction? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17561&edit=1
