Stopping While Loop

[Anon]

Good day everyone.

a run a while loop

while ( $row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1) )

which will cycle through the MYSQL DB until there are no rows left.

what I'm trying to do is make it so that it stops after a max of 5.
I tried utting an if condition in the end of the loop

if ( $counter >= 5 )
{
unset ( $row1 );
}

but it doesn't seems to work..the loop continues.

Any idea's?

use "break", or change your query so it only returns 5 items in the first place (which is a lot faster too)
