All you have to do is a simple foreach loop with a counter, and break when the counter reaches your condition: $need = 5; /* how many we want */ foreach($this->_content as $index => $item) { if ($item['type'] == 'item') { //... /* only decrement if its an 'item' */ $need--; } if (! $need) break; /* we got everything we needed */ } Curt -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."
