How do I repeat text with a php loop based on a $variable?

I want to repeat echo("text!") as often as $variable in php.
So let’s say
$variable=3
and I want the output to be:
"text! text! text!"
How do I get this as a loop? The following is what I tried to do but the loop isn’t stopping as it should.

$variable=readline(1,10)
for ($variable>0; $variable<11; $++){
echo("text!"); }

>Solution :

Either use loop or str_repeat:

$variable = 3;

for ($i = 1; $i <= $variable; $i++) {
    echo 'text! ';
}

or

echo str_repeat('text! ', $variable);
