foreach doesn't stop the loop on break - php

Question

I'm trying to post 3 arrays using foreach and for some reason the break at the end isn't working and it outputs the whole list (40+) on to the page.
$file = fopen('names.csv', 'r');
while (($line = fgetcsv($file)) !== FALSE) {
//$line is an array of the csv elements
shuffle($line);
$i = 0;
foreach ($line as $number) {
{
if($i==3){ break; } else {
$rtime = mt_rand(1, 7);
echo $number; }
$i++;
}
}
}
fclose($file);
This is kind of how it looks: take.ms/cLgIh, instead it should only show 3 of these usernames.

Answer 1

<?php
$i = 0;
//I have opened my contact.csv :P
$file = fopen('contact.csv', 'r');
while (($line = fgetcsv($file)) !== FALSE) {
//$line is an array of the csv elements
shuffle($line);
foreach ($line as $number) {
{
if($i==3){ exit(); } else {
$rtime = mt_rand(1, 7);
echo "<br/> i = ".$i.$number.", "; }
}
$i++;
}
}
fclose($file);
?>

I have downloade first sample CSV from here:-http://www.sample-videos.com/download-sample-csv.php
And this code works for me:-
<?php
$file = fopen('SampleCSVFile_2kb.csv', 'r');
while (($line = fgetcsv($file)) !== FALSE) {
//$line is an array of the csv elements
shuffle($line);
$i = 0;
foreach ($line as $number) {
if($i==3){
exit;
} else {
$rtime = mt_rand(1, 7);
echo $number.'<br/>';
echo $i.'<br/>'; // you can remove this line
}
$i++;
}
}
fclose($file);
?>
Output on each page refresh:-

Note:- if still not work then check your CSV file. May be it is corrupted.
Conclusion:- And after all discussion it comes to an end that your CSV file is corrupted. But yes code improvement is needed too

You need to increment $i otherwise it's value will always be 0
$i = 0;
foreach ($line as $number) {
$rtime = mt_rand(1, 7);
echo "$number";
if($i==3) break;
$i++;
}
Also you need to check if your while statement is closing
$file = fopen('names.csv', 'r');
while (($line = fgetcsv($file)) !== FALSE) {
//$line is an array of the csv elements
shuffle($line);
$i = 0;
foreach ($line as $number) {
$rtime = mt_rand(1, 7);
echo $number;
if($i==3) break;
$i++;
}
} //check for this
As I can see in your code example it is missing the closing brace
Also, remove the double quotes from your $number, it's not necessary.
echo $number

You have a mistake is that the break are in the if($i==3) and you declared $i =0, but never increment this. So $i never arrive at 3.
