This is hair-splitting, but since count($arr) is static, it would save
some cpu cycles to store it in a variable instead of calling count() on
each iteration:

for($i = 0, $limit=count($arr); $i < $limit ; $i++) {

Or better yet, iterate the array with foreach:

foreach($arr as $i => $row) {

Same goes here.

I've gotten so used to foreach that I'm missing it a lot when I'm using
a language that hasn't got such a structure... It's so convinient.
