$a="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
for ($i=0; $i<3; $i++) { $a.=$a; }

Better written as

$a = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' x 3;

or even

$a = join( '', 'a' .. 'z') x 3;

Just a side note.

indeed. much better (and less typing too!)
although, to be more precise you'd need an 8 not a 3 to get the same
results 9-)

but back to the digression I started from the original note, any further
