Get first few results after preg_match

Question

I am doing a simple web scraping for images.

$images = $dom->getElementsByTagName('img');

$images return

DOMNodeList Object
(
   [length] => 19
)

If I print $src inside foreach loop, it shows 19 results.From those 19 results if i again print $src after http matching it shows 11 results. But I want first 5 result from those 11 results after preg_match.

How is it possible?

foreach ($images as $keys=>$image) {                

   $src = $image->getAttribute('src');
    if(preg_match('/^http/', $src)){

    }
}

Answer 1

Test with the below code

$loopCount = 1;
foreach ($images as $keys=>$image) {                
   $src = $image->getAttribute('src');
    if(preg_match('/^http/', $src)) {
        //assuming here you need to check count
        $loopCount ++;
        //your action
        if($loopCount > 5) {
           break;  //to avoid unnecessary loops
        }
    }
}

It will give you the first 5 regex matching records
