Please provide a complete test script.  Are you perhaps not realizing that
array indices along with all variables in PHP are case sensitive?
$row["ID"] and $row["id"] are not the same thing.

The trivial test of your example:

        $myArray["id"] = -2;
        if ($myArray["id"] < 0) echo "Negative";
        else echo "Positive";

Prints "Negative" as expected.
