There is a dedicated page for the alternative syntax of control
structures[1], and in my opinion, this is better than to mention
that again on all the other pages. 

[1] <https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php>

Possibly, but since the pages on while, for, if and switch all mention the alternative syntax, this looks like an omission.

Indeed, the alternative syntax is mentionend on the while, for,
and switch pages (apparently not on the if page), so might make
sense to add this info on the foreach page as well.  I don't have
a strong feeling about either way.

I’d be more than happy to write something and submit that. Ditto for the if page.
