Are there any potential pitfalls in counting PHP arrays in reverse order?

When counting PHP arrays in reverse order, one potential pitfall is not taking into account the zero-based indexing of arrays in PHP. This means that when counting in reverse order, you need to subtract 1 from the total count to get the correct index. To solve this issue, simply subtract 1 from the count when iterating through the array in reverse order. 

$array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Count the array in reverse order
$totalCount = count($array);
for ($i = $totalCount - 1; $i >= 0; $i--) {
    echo $array[$i] . " ";
}
