How to limit access to RSS file?

Question

PHP

There is a primitive PHP code that accesses the RSS file and takes the titles and links from there. It is necessary to make sure that the number of hits is limited (for example, to display 10 links). I know that counters are needed, but I don’t know where to implement them. Complete noob at PHP. It’s a shame to contact Freelancing with such a trifle.
I am attaching the code.

<?
$url = 'http://antonkurilov.ru/russian.xml';
$rss = simplexml_load_file($url);
foreach ($rss->channel->item as $item) {
echo '<a href="'.$item->guid.'" target="_blank">'.$item->title.'</a>'; 
}
?>

Answer 1

break - stops the execution of the cycle, therefore we consider the cycle when the required threshold is reached break;

$url = 'http://antonkurilov.ru/russian.xml';
$rss = simplexml_load_file($url);
$i = 1;
foreach ($rss->channel->item as $item) {
    echo '<a href="'.$item->guid.'" target="_blank">'.$item->title.'</a>'; 
    if (++$i > 10) break;
}

Answer 2

$i = 0;
foreach ($rss->channel->item as $item) {
echo ' '.$item->title.' ';
$i++;
if ($i >10) {
break;
}
}
