PHP: Limit foreach() statement? [closed]

Question

How can i limit a foreach() statement? Say i only want it to run the first 2 'eaches' or something?

Answer 1

There are many ways, one is to use a counter:

$i = 0; foreach ($arr as $k => $v) {     /* Do stuff */     if (++$i == 2) break; } 

Other way would be to slice the first 2 elements, this isn't as efficient though:

foreach (array_slice($arr, 0, 2) as $k => $v) {     /* Do stuff */ } 

You could also do something like this (basically the same as the first foreach, but with for):

for ($i = 0, reset($arr); list($k,$v) = each($arr) && $i < 2; $i++) { }
