#23604 [Opn]: Problem with negative indices

ID: 23604 User updated by: nicolas at van-lancker dot be Reported By: nicolas at van-lancker dot be Status: Open Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: This is what the documentation says : If you omit a key, the maximum of the integer-indices is taken, and the new key will be that maximum + 1. As integers can be negative, this is also true for negative indices. Having e.g. the highest index being -6 will result in -5 being the new key. If no integer-indices exist yet, the key will be 0 (zero). My code : <?php $arr[-6] = "me"; $arr[] = "you"; ?> "you" is not stored in $arr[-5] but in $arr[0] $arr[-5] does not exist... This behaviour is undesired I guess...
