Which is better - for or foreach ?

Noob question. I've learned so much in the last couple of weeks that I've actually found two ways of doing the same thing!  I was wondering which was the better method, if there is any difference. They are being used to print somewhere between 10 and 200 lines of text.

 

Either:

$categories_count= (count($categories[1])) -1;
for ($u=0; $u < $categories_count; $u++) {echo "<li>".$categories[1][$u]."</li>";}

Or:

foreach ($categories[1] as $line => $cat)  {echo "<li>".$cat."</li>";};

I would do this

foreach ($categories[1] as $cat)  {echo "<li>".$cat."</li>";};

 

as its less code

Many thanks, MadTechie!
