Try:

$i = 0;
$array = ('a'=>'a', 'b'=>'b');
foreach($array as $key => $value ){
   $i++;
   echo $i;
}

You can skip one line of code by using echo ++$i;. See Incrementing/Decrementing Operators for more information.

$array = array('a'=>'a', 'b'=>'b');
for ($x = 0; $x < count($array);$x++)
        echo $x."<br >";
