for loop question

[jdsflash]

I want to loop through the first 5 records in my xml. How would I format this correctly. Its nto displaying any of my xml.

<?php 
$Gadgets = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://www.flashmajic.com/gadgets.xml')); 

//foreach ($Gadgets->Site as $Site) 
for($x=0;$x<6;$x++)
{ 
 	echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td valign="top">';

echo '<h5>'.$Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
echo '<h6><img src="'.$Site[$x]->Image.'"/></h6>'; 

echo '</td>';

echo '<td valign="top">';

echo '<h5>'.$Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
echo '<h6>'.$Site[$x]->description.'</h6>'; 
echo '<h6><a href="'.$Site[$x]->links.'">Add Module To Your Google Page.</h6></a>';

echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
} 
?>

shot in the dark, but try:

<?php 
$Gadgets = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://www.flashmajic.com/gadgets.xml')); 

//foreach ($Gadgets->Site as (array)$Site) 
for($x=0;$x<6;$x++)
{ 
 	echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td valign="top">';

echo '<h5>'.$Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
echo '<h6><img src="'.$Site[$x]->Image.'"/></h6>'; 

echo '</td>';

echo '<td valign="top">';

echo '<h5>'.$Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
echo '<h6>'.$Site[$x]->description.'</h6>'; 
echo '<h6><a href="'.$Site[$x]->links.'">Add Module To Your Google Page.</h6></a>';

echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
} 
?>

Initializing the "Sites" node as an array for access via $Site[$x] etc etc.

Not sure if that will work, on the way out the door but saw no replies so trying to help, good luck..

@big.nerd:

I guess you didnt see that he had commented that foreach line 🙂

Anyway. Its simple. Use the foreach and get rid of the for loop:

<?php
$Gadgets = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://www.flashmajic.com/gadgets.xml'));

$num_results = 5;
$cnt = 0;

foreach ($Gadgets->Site as $Site)
{

if ($cnt == $num_results)
{
	break;
}

echo '<tr>';
echo '<td valign="top">';

echo '<h5>'.$Site->Title.'</h5>';
echo '<h6><img src="'.$Site->Image.'"/></h6>';

echo '</td>';

   echo '<td valign="top">';

echo '<h5>'.$Site->Title.'</h5>';
echo '<h6>'.$Site->description.'</h6>';
echo '<h6><a href="'.$Site->links.'">Add Module To Your Google Page.</h6></a>';

echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
$cnt++;
}
