Explode into an array not beginning at 0 ?

I would like to Explode a string into an array that does not begin at
0 but I can't get it to work.

For example: $MyInfo = array(1 =27,68,31,19,40);
will result in $MyInfo[1] = 27 ... $MyInfo[5] = 40

But, I'd like to process a string: "27,68,31,19,40" such that it would
get the same result.

I tried:
$MyString = "27,68,31,19,40"
$MyInfo = array(1 =$MyString);
But that doesn't work.

I also tried:
$MyString = "27,68,31,19,40"
$MyInfo = array(1 =explode($MyString, ","));
That doesn't do it either.

How can this be done?

It might help if you tell us why you feel the need to do this.

You shouldn't want it, but here you go:
Easiest:
<?php
$MyString = "27,68,31,19,40"
$MyArray = explode(',', '0,'.$MyString);
unset($MyArray[0]);
?>
More verbose:
<?php
$MyString = "27,68,31,19,40"
$MyArray = explode(',',$MyString);
array_unshift($MyArray,null);
unset($MyArray[0]);
?>

We might offer a better solution to the problem then one that will throw
other/fellow/future coders off balance.

It looks as if you just want the indexing to start at 1 instead of 0.
But usually this is not necessary, since you can always adjust it as
necessary when accessing the array, for example by giving another start
value for a loop or by using something like $yourArray[$yourIndex-1].

Arrays in PHP are always zero-based, many array handling functions
expect or return them this way.

So, the question "Why?" is valid.

Because, according to "How To Ask Questions the Smart Way" you should
describe the /goal/ you are after, not the intermediate step you might
be stuck on:
