You want to assign multiple elements to an array in one step, but you don't want the first index to be 0.
Instruct array() to use a different index using the => syntax:
$fruits = array(1=>'Apples', 'Grapes', 'Bananas', 'Oranges');

<?php
$fruits = array(1=>'Apples', 'Grapes', 'Bananas', 'Oranges');
// use foreach to loop through the array
echo "<p><b>Start the index at 1 for the array.</b></p>";
foreach ($fruits as $key => $value) {
echo "$key: $value<br />";
}
// Use negative number
$fruits2 = array(-1=>'Apples', 'Grapes', 'Bananas', 'Oranges');
echo "<p><b>Use negative number.</b></p>";
foreach ($fruits2 as $key => $value) {
echo "$key: $value<br />";
}
// Use multiple =>
$fruits3 = array(1=>'Apples', 'Grapes', 10=>'Bananas', 'Oranges');
echo "<p><b>Use multiple =>.</b></p>";
foreach ($fruits3 as $key => $value) {
echo "$key: $value<br />";
}
// Mix numeric and string keys
$fruits4 = array(1=>'Apples', 'Grapes', 'yellow'=>'Bananas', 'Oranges');
echo "<p><b>Mix numeric and string keys</b></p>";
foreach ($fruits4 as $key => $value) {
echo "$key: $value<br />";
}
?>
