In PHP 5.5 and later, if a key is an array or object, a warning will be generated. null keys will be converted to an empty string, float keys will be truncated to their int counterpart, resource keys will generate a warning and be converted to their resource ID, and bool keys will be converted to integers.

If this parameter is not set or set to
true, duplicate keys will be overwritten. The last value with a given key will be in the returned array. Set this parameter tofalseto get all the values in any case.
An array containing the elements of the iterator.
