I dont' think there is a limit: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
but consider: an array can contain strings and/or ints, a string max lenght is ~2GB, the int limit is platform dependent, default is two billions.

So the array will probably be limited by the memory_limit in php.ini or by the amount of RAM.

int: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php
