title: FATAL ERROR: allocated bytes on simple php script
body: <p>I am currently learning php, and am struggling to write the results of a function to an array. After a google search it seems as the the function I have created has a bug in it that will create an array that is too large: </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/561066/fatal-error-allowed-memory-size-of-134217728-bytes-exhausted-codeigniter-xml">Fatal Error: Allowed Memory Size of 134217728 Bytes Exhausted (CodeIgniter + XML-RPC)</a></p>
  
  <p>Like I said, I am currently learning PHP, and the resources for a custom written script are fairly limited, therefore I am asking if anybody would be kind enough to give me a push in the right direction as to where my code is buggy...</p>
  
  <pre><code>function multiples($number) {
  echo "$number entered";
  $arr = array();
  
  for ($i = 1; $i = $number; $i++)
  {
      if($i % 3 == 0){
          $arr[] = $i;
      }
      else if($i % 5 == 0){
          $arr[] = $i;
      }
      else {}
  }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this returns this when accessing the file through xampp, '$number' being the argument for the function...</p>
  
  <p>'$number' entered</p>
