I try not to use it much, but when I do I back it up with checking to
see if an error really occured. I use it for file handles, database
handles, stuff that I really expect to break sometimes. I don't ever
use it to assist with sloppy coding style, not defining variables and
such. In fact I always code with error_reporting( E_ALL ) until I
take the code into production.

I go with $array[0], $array[1] and such. Or maybe

while( list( $k, $v ) = each( $array ) )
{

}
