遍历PHP“对象” x次？

Question

I need to be able to loop through a PHP object about 25 times, but using a foreach with an iteration counter doesn't get the job done. Can someone advise please?

Things I've Tried

$i = 0;

foreach($items as $item){
    if($i < 25){
        //do code here
    $i++;
    }else{
        break;
    }
}

this successfully counts through 1-25 and break but my code does not execute it just stops completely.

and i've also tried using a for loop but again this doesn't work. So what i really want to know is if there is a way to loop through a PHP object X amount of times before breaking out of the loop and carrying on with my code.

The reason i need this is because if i use "foreach" without limiting it, it will go through about 300 times which is way too much.

Answer 1

If iterating through whole collection is "way too much" maybe do not fetch all items from wherever they come from or slice the input

foreach (array_slice($items, 0, 25) as $item) {
     // do code here
}
