Limiting foreach?

So I have a foreach loop for an associative array, how can I limit the number of times it loops?

Here is the code...

	$count = 0;

	foreach ($ranked as $key => $value) {
		if ($count < 20) {

			$count++;
		}
	}

PHP:

The above is what I was trying but it doesn't seem to work. I don't even really care if the loop runs more times than I want I need to limit an action within it to a certain number.

 

i didnt get what exactly you mean, but i think maybe you are trying to do this instead:

$count = 0;    
foreach ($ranked as $key => $value) {        
     if ($count < 20) {
         //put here what you want to do       
     }
     $count++;
}

Code (markup):

 

$count = 0;

foreach ($ranked as $key => $value) {
$count++;
if ($count < 20) {

print "$count number is lower than 20";
}
}

 

$count = 0;

    foreach ($ranked as $key => $value) {
        if ($count < 20) {

            $count++;
        } else break 2;
    }

PHP:

You can use the break statement

 

why break 2?
you only need to break out of 1 control loop. else break; is enough.

btw, if you only want a specific number of iteration, why not use a for loop?

define('k_Count', 20);
reset($ranked);

for ($i = 0; $i < k_Count && (list($key, $value) = each($ranked)); ++$i)
{
   yaba();
   daba($do);
}

PHP:

 

Can be shortened to:

if(++$count > $num) break;
