Sets the default behavior of new arrays to be associative or nonassociative.
| Type: | Integer |
| Saved in: | Registry |
| Initial value: | 1 |
| 0 | Non-associative |
| 1 | Associative |
Associative arrays are treated as a single array object, which is helpful when you want to modify spacing, angles, or replace or modify the source object.
If an array is non-associative, each copied item is treated as a separate object. Editing one item does not affect the other items.
