What's the fastest way to populate an array with numbers in PHP?

Question

What's the fastest way to populate an array with the numbers 1-100 in PHP? I want to avoid doing something like this:

$numbers = '';

for($var i = 0; i <= 100; $i++) {
    $numbers = $i . ',';
}

$numberArray = $numbers.split(',');

It seems long and tedious, is there a faster way?

Answer 1

The range function:

$var = range(0, 100);
