What potential pitfalls should be considered when converting C/C++ array syntax to PHP array syntax, especially when dealing with mixed data types?

When converting C/C++ array syntax to PHP array syntax, one potential pitfall to consider is the difference in how data types are handled. In C/C++, arrays can hold multiple data types, but PHP arrays are typically homogeneous and should ideally only contain one data type. To handle mixed data types, you can use associative arrays in PHP where each element can have its own key-value pair to represent different data types. 

// Example of converting a C/C++ array with mixed data types to PHP associative array
$cArray = array(1, 'two', 3.0, true);

$phpArray = array(
    'int' => 1,
    'string' => 'two',
    'float' => 3.0,
    'bool' => true
);

print_r($phpArray);
