basic difference between each and foreach is
each is iterate array for one element only and foreach is iterate array for all element .

either both each and foreach Return the current key and value pair from an array


$array = array(" i ","love","php");
$next = each($array);
print_r($next);//return first key value from array 

you cant use each like foreach

$array = array(" i ","love","php");
 each($array as $key=>$value){
print_r($value);
}

because its not made for iterate the whole array next by next until loop disrupted


foreach loop 


$array = array(" i ","love","php");
 foreach($array as $key=>$value){
print_r($value);
}

its almost same like while loop , only foreach have key value return at every iteration
