How would I add keys to an array, that has been exploded

How would I go about adding keys each element in an array that as been parsed through a .htaccess file.

so for example the .htaccess looks like this;

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php?PATH_INFO=$1 [L,QSA]

so when I run 

$request = explode('/',$_GET['PATH_INFO']);

If I passed in the url www.somewebsite.com/movies/title I would get the result

array(2) { [0]=> string(6) "movies" [1]=> string(5) "title" }

Instead of getting the keys as [0] and [1] is there a way I can explicitly give it keys, as for example the domain could change and have more parameters on the end.

What keys would you want to give it?

I'm not sure what the point of keys would be instead of 0, 1 etc

I guess as movies would be the controller and title would be the method I want to give it those keys, but I guess I can just use 0, and 1. Just thought for better coding practice it would be better with naming conventions I thought
