It's just a normal array.. but the author is creating keys on the fly for which the values area being incremented. And because there's no error checking for the key not existing previously, he has used the dirty error suppression operator. BAD BAD BAD CODER! Remember, if an error occurs and you have a custom error handler, your custom error handler still gets invoked. OWWIE!
