php shortcuts

[laredotornado@zipmail.com]

Hi,

Wanted to see if there was an even shorter way to do this using PHP
4.3. I have a GIF of a star. In my code, I have a variable, $rating,
which could be any number between 1 and 5. I want to display a star
for each rating point. Is there an even shorter way to output that
code other than the traditional for loop?

Thanks, - Dave

A for loop would be both short and clear, so I don't think there's much room
for improvement there.
