Breaking the nested loop [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use a while loop

posts[$i]) {
    $j = 0;
    $post = $query->posts[$i++];
    if ($images = get_children(array(
                    'post_parent' => $post->ID,
                    'post_type' => 'attachment',
                    'post_mime_type' => 'image'))
            ){              
              while ($count < 5 && $images[$j]) { 
                $count++; 
                $image = $images[$j++];
                    ..
                }               
            }
}
