​Indexed array has key property too, difference is that key are always
indexed (as name suggest).​

Also,

$a = [2 => 'foo', 4 => 'bar', 6 => 'baz'];
$a[] = 'foo1';
$a[] = 'bar1';
var_dump($a);

​Here keys(2 and 4) stays as is and keys(1 & 3) will be skipped.​ And next
key will largest key value + 1.

Output:

array(5) {
  [2] =>
  string(3) "foo"
  [4] =>
  string(3) "bar"
  [6] =>
  string(3) "baz"
  [7] =>
  string(4) "foo1"
  [8] =>
  string(4) "bar1"
}
