While arguably being less clear this method is faster by roughly a factor of roughly 3 5  At least on the box I used to test    foo   array      1   gt   Value1       2   gt   Value2       10   gt   Value10     while  bar   each  foo        echo  bar 0        gt       bar 1       I would imagine that this is due to the fact the foreach copies the entire array before iterating over it

If you use array keys    PHP will give you an array filled with just the keys    keys   array keys  arr   foreach  keys as  key        echo  key       Alternatively  you can do this   foreach  arr as  key   gt   value        echo  key

If you use nested foreach   function  outer array s keys print again and again till inner array values end    lt  php    myArray     key 1    gt    value 1    value12                 key 2    gt    value 2    value22                  key 3    gt    value 3    value32                   keysOfMyArray   array key  myArray    for   x   0   x  lt  count  myArray    x            print   t   keysOfMyArray  x    t t  implode   t t   myArray  keysOfMyArray  x     n         gt

Nobody answered with regular for loop  Sometimes I find it more readable and prefer for over foreach So here it is    array   array  key1    gt   value1    key2    gt   value2       keys   array keys  array    for  i 0   i  lt  count  keys      i        echo  keys  i           array  keys  i       n           prints    key1 value1   key2 value2
