The LimitIterator class allows iteration over a limited subset of items in an Iterator.
Example #1 LimitIterator usage example
<?php// Create an iterator to be limited$fruits = new ArrayIterator(array( 'apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'damson', 'elderberry'));// Loop over first three fruits onlyforeach (new LimitIterator($fruits, 0, 3) as $fruit) { var_dump($fruit);}echo "\n";// Loop from third fruit until the end// Note: offset starts from zero for appleforeach (new LimitIterator($fruits, 2) as $fruit) { var_dump($fruit);}?>
The above example will output:
string(5) "apple" string(6) "banana" string(6) "cherry" string(6) "cherry" string(6) "damson" string(10) "elderberry"
