The actual values you store in an array are stored in blocks of memory. PHP optimizes this storage by PHP's Zend Engine, to efficiently hold various types of values (integers, strings, objects, etc.). and also uses a hash table (hash map) internally to manage the association types. but the detail of how the PHP Engine works with the values and addresses is related to its kernel, and not to the place they are stored.
