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.
