Code Inspection: 'array_fill' can be converted to loop

Reports the array_fill() calls that can be replaced with foreach loops.

The array_fill (php.net) function is used for filling an array with values. You can also use a foreach loop (php.net) to achieve the same result.

In the following example, the myArr array is filled with values by using either the array_fill() function call or the foreach loop.

$myArr = array_fill(0, 2, 'foo');

                $array_fill = [];

                for ($i = 0; $i < 2; $i++) {
                    $array_fill[$i] = 'foo';
                }

                $myArr = $array_fill;
