foreach - limiting number of times a loop runs in php

Question

I have a foreach loop that i need to limit to the first 10 items then break out of it.

How would i do that here?

foreach ($butters->users->user as $user) {
    $id = $user->id;
    $name = $user->screen_name;
    $profimg = $user->profile_image_url;
    echo "things";    
} 

Would appreciate a detailed explanation as well.

If you want to use foreach, you can add an additional variable to control the number of iterations. For example:

$i=0;
foreach ($butters->users->user as $user) {
    if($i==10) break;
    $id = $user->id;
    $name = $user->screen_name;
    $profimg = $user->profile_image_url;
    echo "things";  
    $i++;  
}
