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.
