Nonsense. PHP has only one array type.[1]

Assume, you have an array:
$array = array('one', 'two', 'three');
Now you want to echo its elements in order. What is simpler and more
readable?
$i = 0;
while ($i < count($array)) {
echo $array[$i];
}
or
foreach ($array as $element) {
echo $element;
}
Additionally, the foreach loop is most likely faster.
