arrays and using variables for the integeger reference...

[Micah_D]

I want to do an array of string values. But I want the key to to be defined by a variable that is an integer.

array($incremented_int => $value)

should this work, and why not?

you are allowed to do that, syntax is

$arr = array();

$x = 5;

$arr[$x] = "hello";
++$x;
$arr[$x] = "there";

this way

$arr = array();
$arr[] = 'now the key is 0';

$key = 5;

$arr[$key] = 'now key is 5';

$arr[++$key] = 'now key is 6';

$arr[$key++] = 'now key is  6 too, but $key is 7';

$arr[] = 'now key is 7';
