Populating a php array without specifying all elements when the elements are identical

Question

I want to create an array like this [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

In python I can use myarray = [1]*5

Is there an equivalent method in PHP or I have to add all the elements in a loop.

<?php

var_dump( array_fill( 0, 5, 1 ) );

?>
