Simplexml problem

Hello,

i don't know if this is the good place to post this request.
I am totally newbie in php and in xml, i am trying to use simplexml with php5.
I'm trying to use an xml feed with quite big content.
I have more than 100 items in this xml feed.
I have read several documentation but can't get the result i want.
Here is my actual code:
<?php
$request_url = "http://****************/3164.xml";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($request_url) or die("feed not loading");
foreach ($xml->channel as $channel) {
foreach ($channel->item as $item) {
?>


<a href="<?php printf($item->link); ?>" target="_blank"><strong><?php printf($item->title); ?></strong></a>
<?php printf($item->description); ?>


<?php }
}
?>

I can get the xml feed show on my page, but got a huge page with more than 100 items on it.
What i am trying to do is to split the xml feed content on multiple page, and show 10 items on each page.
Can anybody give me an example of the code i should use on page 1 to show item from 1 to 10 and the code i should use on page 2 showing items from 11 to 20?

Thanks for any help or suggestion,

ica

One way would be to have a counter, and a minimum and maximum
I can't recall PHP syntax, so this will be pseudocode:

initialize counters
counter = 0;
page = 1;
itemsPerPage = 10;
maximum = page * itemsPerPage;
minimum = maximum + 1 - itemsPerPage;

inside your second for loop
counter++;
if (counter < minimum)
continue;
else if (counter < maximum)
output;
else
break;
