<?php
for($i = 1; $i < 10; $i++) {
$flip[$i] = 'Yes';
}


echo '<pre>'; print_r($flip); echo '</pre>';

?>

 

Outputs

Array
(
    [1] => Yes
    [2] => Yes
    [3] => Yes
    [4] => Yes
    [5] => Yes
    [6] => Yes
    [7] => Yes
    [8] => Yes
    [9] => Yes
)

You could also create a dummy zero'th element, then remove it after the other elements have been added.

You could use array_unshift to prepend a useless item to the front of the array. I wouldn't recommend it though. The reason 0 was chosen for the start of array indexes is because it's typically more useful and less confusing.
