What alternative approach is suggested in the forum for incrementing the counter variable?

The issue with incrementing the counter variable in a for loop is that it can be error-prone and lead to bugs if not done correctly. An alternative approach suggested in the forum is to use a foreach loop to iterate over the array and manually increment a separate counter variable. 

$counter = 0;
$array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

foreach ($array as $value) {
    $counter++;
    // do something with $value
}

echo $counter;
