PHP-ILooping数组值通过一个更大的数组

Question

I want to know if it is possible to take an array and insert the array's values into a bigger array, multiple times, so that the values of the smaller array fill up the bigger array.

Say array1 has values ([0 => 'a'],[1 => 'b'],[2 => 'c']), and array2 can hold 8 values. So, how would I take the values of array1 and insert them into array2 continuously until array2 runs out of space, so that array2 would have the values 'a','b','c','a','b','c','a','b'?

Thanks in advance, ~Hussain~

Answer 1

Essentially, you want to loop over and over the small array, adding each element to the new array until it has reached the desired size.

Consider this:

$max = 8;

$Orig_Array = array('a', 'b', 'c');
$Next_Array = array();

while True
{
    foreach($Orig_Array as $v)
    {
       $Next_Array[] = $v;
       if(count($Next_Array) >= $max)
          break 2;
    }
}
