My mistake, I left out the second argument to str_word_count, which should
have been 1. In that case str_word_count would return an array of all the
words in supplied string.

The same thing that would happen if you did $array['PHP'] = 3;
$array['PHP'] = 3; The value would be overridden.
array_map_key would behave no differently than foreach would in this
matter. The code would semantically equivalent to the following:
function array_map_key(Callable $callback, $array) {
$return = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
list($k,$v) = $callback($key, $value);
$return[$k] = $v;
}
return $return;
}
You can see the PHP user-land implementation here with your
described example and the resulting output http://3v4l.org/pe855
