My understanding is that the conceptual limit is*PHP_INT_MAX*, as there is no way to represent the size above this value.
And on which definition, 32bit versions of PHP crash out before 64bit builds ... It assumes that one HAS to convert variables to binary numbers but one can quite easily retain 64bit numbers on a 32bit version of PHP, so why should it not be possible to to handle even larger numbers ... and text keys for an array can handle 'larger' numbers or other identifiers.
Now some recent changes to arrays may be containing an unlimited array size, but it should not prevent it from being able to be handled.
