I was sincere. I meant "modern" to mean more recent. Though, I do agree with the correlation between your interpretation and response. I apologize.

Yes, we can tell that you had a different, less offensive definition of "modern." Our understanding is tripled, in fact. :-P I'd really like to be the last poster in this thread, simply because it's gone into flame world, filling my mailbox when not invited. This'll never change, at least in PHP proper, so please, don't fight about it... Thanks, Ken

I thank you for your open-mindedness, but I must admit I was in the fault. I supplied a version from a modern language such as C++.

No need to be a dick about it. Calling C++ 'modern' is about as sensible as calling C 'ancient'. Plenty of applications and operating systems are still written in C (not C++). Apache, PHP, Perl, Linux and FreeBSD are some examples. Rasmus responded correctly to your question by noting that PHP's for() syntax is identical to C's for() syntax. Which it is.
