Unsurprisingly, utter nonsense from you again.

$ php -r '$a[0] = 42; var_dump($a["0"]);'
int(42)

In fact,

$alist[0][0] = "data";

is equivalent to

$alist = array(array("data"));

or

$alist = array(0 => array("data"));

or

$alist = array(array(0 => "data"));

or

$alist = array(0 => array(0 => "data"));

or variations of that where the key is the string '0' or "0", if $alist did
not exist before.

It is equivalent to

$alist[0] = array("data");

and variations of that, including those where the keys are '0', if $alist
existed before but did not have an element with key 0.

And it is equivalent to itself if $alist[0] referred to an array before
(i.e., it modifies the element with index 0 of the array that is the element
with index 0 of the outer array).

That you can create „multi-dimensional“ arrays, which can even be
associative, with just one line, is the beauty of PHP.
