I think you're correct. This is because PHP arrays are a "mash-up"
(as Jochem put it) of numerical indexes/hashtables/assoc.
arrays/etc....
Example:
[php]
$jonas = array('color' => 'blue', 'number' => 'three');
echo $jonas[1]; // prints nothing
$jonas = array('color' => 'blue', 'number' => 'three', 1 => 'readme');
echo $jonas[1]; // prints 'readme', even though it's technically
the third element
[/php]
So, your solution might be to first pull all of the array values out
into a new array, like this:
[php]
$jonas = array('color' => 'blue', 'number' => 'three', 1 => 'readme');
$jonas_new = array_values($jonas);
echo $jonas_new[1]; // prints 'three', as you'd hoped
[/php]
p.s. Bonus: If you wanted to get the keys out, use array_keys()
And yes, as Jay said, RTFM. It's very very helpful.
