How is this associative array foreach working?

I'm perplexed as to how this is not erroring on my server with the highest error reporting to be shown? Any insight is gladly welcomed. 

$myArray = ['first' => '1A', 'second' => '2A', 'first' => '2A', 'second' => '2B'];

foreach($myArray as $value) {
    echo $value['first'] . "<br />";
}

Outputted:

1A
2A

First, You have duplicated the Keys in the array and that is not allowed. If you want make the array with the key, you should use something like this:

  foreach (array_expression as $key => $value)

You have duplicated array Keys and this is not allowed on arrays Check Arrays

You have to reformat Your array to be like this 

$myArray = [['first' => '1A', 'second' => '2A'], ['first' => '2A', 'second' => '2B']];
foreach($myArray as $key => $value) {
    echo $value['first']."<br / >";
}
