<function>array_flip</function> returns an <type>array</type> in flip
order, i.e. keys from <parameter>array</parameter> become values and values
from <parameter>array</parameter> become keys.
</para>
<para>
Note that the values of <parameter>array</parameter> need to be valid
keys, i.e. they need to be either <type>integer</type> or
<type>string</type>. A warning will be emitted if a value has the wrong
type, and the key/value pair in question <emphasis>will not be included
in the result</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
If a value has several occurrences, the latest key will be
used as its value, and all others will be lost.
