The php manual is an excellent resource for learning the information http://www.php.net/ And a little trick for those who don't like clicking around alot and know the function name your looking for: If you type 'php.net/foreach' in your browser, the php site will direct you to the proper page. If you typed it wrong or no statement/function is found it sends you to a google search with that term, yeilding excelent results (usually is a lucky match that you wanted).
