But don't forget, the first scenario would be bad coding practice; you
are mutating the array $entry. It will become the last value of the
array you are foreach'ing. $entry begins as an array, and ends as a
string. As a result, I'd suggest to stay away from it. 

The second scenario, $ entries remains an array, and $entry a string.
Thanks,

Mike
