Limiting Array Output ??

jonzy

I'm trying to limit the output of the following code to 5 or 10 results but I can't figure out how to do it. I've tried several things but can't seem to make it work. The following code outputs all info in $p_array. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$si = 0;
while (list ($key, $value) = each ($p_array)) {

//ROW COLOR
$tbgcolor = is_int($si / 2)?"#efefef":"#ffffff";

$p_stats .= "
<tr bgcolor=\"".$tbgcolor."\" align=\"center\">
<td class=\"table_text\">"
.$value["fname"]." ".$value["lname"]."</td>
<td class=\"table_text\">".$value["team"]."</td>
<td class=\"table_text\">".$value["pts"]."</td>
</tr>";
$si++;
}

$max = max(5,count($p_array));
for($i=0; $i<$max; $i++)
{...}

I tried the code below but the it still outputs the entire array. Any ideas?

$si = 0;
$max = max(5,count($p_array));
for($i=0; $i<$max; $i++)
{
while (list ($key, $value) = each ($p_array)) {

//ROW COLOR
$tbgcolor = is_int($si / 2)?"#efefef":"#ffffff";

Thanks!

I meant use a for loop instead of a while loop.
for(...)
{
list ($key, $value) = each ($p_array);
...
}

Or you could use [man]array_slice[/man] first, instead. And/Or, depending on where $p_array comes from, make sure it doesn't contain too many entries to begin with.

I'll try that. I was going to use array slice, but I don't have PHP 4.
Thanks!
