Question:
Is foreach an implementation of Syntactic Sugar in PHP?
foreach($array as $key=>$values) {
//Faz algo com as chaves e valores.
}
Answer:
Yes, if once you wouldn't need it to get such a result, as well as many other functions: while and do while .
But, languages must evolve and this ends up being considered natural over time (after all, nobody wants to be writing for repetitions with if and GOTO ).
