While Within Foreach

Only show the first x records that foreach gives

[doubleJ]

Hello...
I'm trying to combine two chunks of code that I've worked on.
I'm using foreach to get contents of an xml file. Only it displays all of the records.

foreach($data->channel->item as $items) {
echo $items->title;
}

I'm using this code to show only the first 15 records from a different flat-text database.

$maxCount = 15;
$count = 0;
while ($count<$maxCount) {
$count++;
echo "some text";
}

My joining of the two loops has caused every result except the one that I want.
Hehehe...
This is the closest thing that I've found, but it displays the first record 5 times.

$maxCount = 15;
$count = 0;
foreach($data->channel->item as $items) {
while ($count<$maxCount) {
$count++;
echo $items->title;
}
}

I've looked at pagination, but I'm not really wanting to have all the records navigatable, just the first x number.
I thought a do/while loop would work, but I'm working with an array. My understanding is that foreach is what you want for that.

the two loops are making the confusion I would think

$maxCount = 15;
$count = 0;
foreach($data->channel->item as $items) {
if ($count < $maxCount) {
echo $items->title;
$count++;
} else {
break;
}
}

Bah...
if, not while.
Thanks for the input.
