As mike and kim suggested use foreach ($array as $index=>$item) {
Also something that has not been raised. You pseudo exemple is somewhat
flawed so I thought it best to point it out.
In your example you are incrementing the index before you use it and the
index starts at 0. Array's are zero based meaning the first element of the
array has the key 0 the second 1 etc. In your example you would have 1 as
being the first and 2 being the second.:-
<?php
$test = array('a','b');
print_r($test)
?>
The above code shows this.
