Comments:
IIRC PHP converts numeric strings in array indices to numbers, so array( "1" => "foo"
, "2" => "bar" ) actually creates array( 1 => "foo" , 2 => "bar" ). IE the proposed
method won't work.

I.M.O. negative integer indices are not supported. It is just a side-effect of the
implementation that it works.
I haven't seen ANY language supporting negative array-indices.
You can use the real assosiative version though:
$data["$i"] = ...
And don't forget to use the same syntax when collecting the data.

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I can't find any
reference to it in the documentation/user comments/FAQs
Basically, if you build an associative(ish) array like
this:
$period = -24;
for ($i=$period; $i<=0; $i++) {
$data[$i] = $myvalues[$anotherindex];
};
It works ok, the array contains (in order) elements with
the inidices -24 to 0.
But, if $period is decreased so that over 25 elements are
introduced, the order goes off...
basically elements with indices -24 to 0 are fine, but all
the other ones come, in order, _after_ index 0.
Any ideas?
