For some odd reason, I'd like to be able to take a number like 534 and make
a larger
number by repeating it 5 times, to get 534534534534534. This is part of a
parser,
so the two integers are passed as gmp numbers.
gmp_init(str_repeat(gmp_strval($a),gmp_intval($b)))
sometimes works and sometimes fails. To illustrate this consider:
for ($i = 1; $i < 10; $i++) {
$temp = str_repeat(gmp_strval(gmp_init($i)),8);
echo "$temp is ",gmp_strval(gmp_init($temp)),"<br>";
}
Yields
11111111 is 11111111
22222222 is 22222222
33333333 is 33333333
44444444 is 44444444
55555555 is 55555555
66666666 is 66666666
77777777 is 77777777
88888888 is 8
99999999 is 9
Why do the last two fail? How can I fix this?
Note that the following works
for ($i = 1; $i < 10; $i++) {
$temp = str_repeat("$i",8); # or $temp = str_repeat($i,8);
echo "$temp is ",gmp_strval(gmp_init($temp)),"<br>";
}
but again I have a parser, so my input is a gmp number.
