Create array with natural numbers from 1 to a given number with PHP [duplicate]

PHP: fill an array with numbers

I'd like code a PHP function that creates an array with natural numbers from 1 to a given number and I have not a clue of how to do this.

e.g : if I give the function the natural number 3 then the array should be 1,2,3 ; if I give the function the integer 2 1,2 ; if 5 1,2,3,4,5

Please look at the list of array functions in the PHP Manual before asking superfluous questions. It's a completely pointless and worthless exercise to have people link you to the appropriate manual pages here. Also see blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/02/are-some-questions-too-simple — Gordon

There is already a function that will do this: range.

range(1, 3); // array(1, 2, 3)
range(2, 5); // array(2, 3, 4, 5)

Use range() :

$array = range(1, 3);
