Looping structures should (IMO) all have a limiting variant.

For example,
while100($rec=mysql_fetch_row($res)) {...}

Would only loop 100 times

for1000($i=0;$i<count($search);$i++) {...}

Would loop 1000 times, etc.

hm, would you also want while23859() ?

also, would for1000($i=0;$i<count($search);$i++) {...}
loop 1000 times even if $search contained less than 1000 values? plainly, you have this kind of functionality in any language. in PHP, your examples would look like this:

$i = 0 ;
while( 100 > $i ) {
    $i++ ;
    $rec = mysql_fetch_row( $res ) ...
}

and 
for( $i = 0 ; 1000 > $i && count( $search ) > $i ; $i++ ) ...
