Problem with fourier transform

Hello, I have a problem dealing with fourier transform in octave.
How is it possible to recover the value of a discrete periodic function, given
its fourier armonics coeficients?
I tried something like this:

-------- code ------------
y = [1,2,3,4,5]';       # original function
z = fftshift(fft(y));   # armonics

# given an integer value of x like -2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,....
x = <integer value>;

# we would get y(x) with this expression
y_x = sum(z.*exp((-2:2)'*i*pi*x/rows(z)))
------ end code ----------

But it doesn't give us even close original values of y suposed value i for x
will give us i-th value from vector y.
What am I doing wrong? Is it suposed to wortk other way octave fourier series?.

And what about the two dimentional case, in wich y is a general matrix and z =
fft2(y)? whould there be a similar way of finding original function values?

        hundred thanks in advance, Antonio.
