Simplehtmldom - limit return

PHP
1

Hi all…

I’m using the Simplehtmldom parser to grab linked headlines from a site, but there are many links on the pages and my script is returning all of them. I’m wondering how I can change it to only return the first 5 links instead of the whole lot.

Here is my code:

<?php

include_once 'simplehtmldom/simple_html_dom.php';

$url = "websitehere";

$html = file_get_html($url);

$data =  $html->find('div[class=content] a');

if(isset($data[0]))
    echo $data[0]->children(1);

print "$html";

?>

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I thought about using something like

array_slice($data, 0, 5);

but it doesn’t work (i don’t really know what i’m doing).
