Description

From manual page: https://php.net/function.array-fill

The Notes section links to and mentions that the page about the array datatype has a detailed explanation about negative keys, but the page makes no reference to the word "negative" whatsoever and doesn't provide further context without using that particular terminology that I could find. Perhaps it was removed at some point and this reference wasn't cleaned up?

Research direction

Start with the array_fill manual page at https://php.net/function.array-fill and follow its Notes-section link to the array datatype page. Verify whether the linked page explains negative keys; done means correcting or removing the outdated reference so the documentation no longer promises missing context.
