What is the proper term for the type of array that does not contain textual keys?
That is to say
$my_array[0], $my_array[1] etc. vs $my_array['some-key']
An ‘indexed’ array? Is there even such a term for this type?
It is simply an array, the associative array you are referring to is a language implementation that will use a different underlying data structure and is not even possible in C. By definition when you are referring to an array by index that is all it is.
