How do you convert an array into a square matrix?

Say I have an array
x=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10]
and I want to convert this into a square matrix as follows:
M=
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10...
And so on so that there are a total of 10 rows and 10 columns
So I start with a [1x10]array and turn this into a [10x10] matrix
How do you do this??
Thank you!

It's often possible to avoid replicating data (and also desirable for memory-efficiency reasons) using the BSXFUN command. You should elaborate on why you think you need the rows replicated.

x = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10];
x = repmat(x,10,1);

Another:
x = 1:10; % Original
x = x(ones(1,length(x)),:) % indexing instead of repmatting.
M = ones(numel(x),1)*x;
M = bsxfun(@plus,x,zeros(numel(x),1));
