>I guess could have the answer in the bug 24159... Right, so this is expected.

I was about to open the same problem all over again when I found this. It seems to me that this problem is not really bogus but actually a documentation problem. array_fill documentation should be changed to indicate that if the starting index is negative it will be used for the first entry but subsequent entries start from zero. Assigning to myself. Not sure when I'll get around to updating the documentation but its better to have a bug open than not to.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
Description: ------------ the function "array_fill" doesn't support correctly a negative number as first parameter. If start_index is negative, then it starts with the correct value, but the next key value is always 0. I guess could have the answer in the bug 24159... Maybe the documentation have to be updated, or (I hope it will be this solution) the function array_fill have to fixed :-P Thx for all! Reproduce code: --------------- <?php print_r(array_fill(-3,5,0)); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [-3] => 0 [-2] => 0 [-1] => 0 [0] => 0 [1] => 0 ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [-3] => 0 [0] => 0 [1] => 0 [2] => 0 [3] => 0 )
