[SOLVED] limit xml feed

[AV1611]

Here is a snippet I use to display an xml feed on another page. I need to know how to make it only show the first 5 items in the feed rather than all of them:

 

<?php
require_once "XML/RSS.php";
$file=file_get_contents('http://mypage.com/wordpress/?feed=rss2');
$r=& new XML_RSS($file);
$r->parse();

//echo '<pre>';
//print_r($r);
//echo '</pre>';
$i=0;



foreach($r->getItems() as $entry)
{

echo '<div class="infoblock">';
echo "<p>";
echo '<a  style="font-size: 130%;" href="';
echo $entry['link'];
echo '">';
echo $entry['title'];
echo "</a></p>";
$line=$entry['content:encoded'];
$line=str_replace('/>','>',$line);
$line=str_replace('</p>','</p><p> </p>',$line);
echo $line;

echo "<p style='text-align: center;'><a href='".$entry['comments']."'>Click here for comments or to leave a reply</a></p><p> </p>";
echo "</div>\n";

}

?>

 

I know this is where the items come from

 

foreach($r->getItems() as $entry)

 

but I don't know how to make the foreach also do while $i < 5 or whatever...

 

Thanks in advance.

You can use a while() loop, a for() loop, or just add an incremented number into your foreach() like..

 

$i = 0;
foreach($r->getItems() as $entry)
{
         if($i >= 5) break;
echo '<div class="infoblock">';
echo "<p>";
echo '<a  style="font-size: 130%;" href="';
echo $entry['link'];
echo '">';
echo $entry['title'];
echo "</a></p>";
$line=$entry['content:encoded'];
$line=str_replace('/>','>',$line);
$line=str_replace('</p>','</p><p> </p>',$line);
echo $line;

echo "<p style='text-align: center;'><a href='".$entry['comments']."'>Click here for comments or to leave a reply</a></p><p> </p>";
echo "</div>\n";
$i++;
}

I was not able to figure out where to put the braces when I tried to loop it but you BREAK statement worked great... never did that before

 

Thanks!
