break out of if and foreach

Question

I have a foreach loop and an if statement. If a match is found i need to ultimately break out of the foreach.

foreach ($equipxml as $equip) {

    $current_de         


        

Answer 1

foreach($equipxml as $equip) {
    $current_device = $equip->xpath("name");
    if ( $current_device[0] == $device ) {
        // found a match in the file            
        $nodeid = $equip->id;
        break;
    }
}

Simply use break. That will do it.
