How to stop a foreach loop at a certain count

I am trying to stop a foreach loop and a child foreach loop at a combined count of 8 but its not currently working and ends up echoing 15 times .heres the code I currently have

    $i=0;
    foreach($somethings as $something){
    if (++$i == 8) break;
    echo something;
           foreach($subsomethings as $subsomething){
           if (++$i == 8) break;
           echo $subsomething
           }    
   }

how do I close both foreach loops if $i == 8 Thanks

You need to use ++$i >= 8 instead of ++$i == 8. When the inner loop is broken the outer loop continues as $i is incremented to 9.

Change the first if to be greater than or equal to:

if (++$i >= 8) break;
