An array is defined as a collection of identically typed data items distinguished by their indices. A zero based array is the same thing as a one based array. In fact, there is no rule that an array need to be zero or one based. This is certainly true with associative arrays (called a structs in CF). An associative array is one where the indices are not just integers but may be arbitrary strings.
