Can anyone please explain me this code, why $name came instead of $names

Question

<?php
$names = array("John", "David", "Amy");
foreach ($names as $name) {
echo $name.'<br />';
}
?>

Answer 1

foreach executes as many times as there are values in the given array ($names). Each time it's run it stores the current value in the given variable ($name). $name can then be used inside the foreach-block.
Also, $name is probably read-only. (No gurantee.)
