I am trying to search and check for the duplicate details that is available in the database using php.The user enters several names and then a phone number to check for the duplicates. Below is my function. I just cropped out some parts because it was too long.

```
function gtc($names,$phone)
{

    $pageNumb=20;
    $position = array(5);

    $sepname=explode(",","$names");

foreach ($sepname as $sepname1)
{
    for ($page=0;$page<=$pageNumb;$page=$page + 1)
    {
    $turl="http://192.168.111.2119/search.php?qry=$sepname1&page=$page";

    $search=curl_init();

    curl_setopt($search,CURLOPT_URL,$turl);
    curl_setopt($search,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
    curl_setopt($search,CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,true);
    curl_setopt($search,CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER,true);
    $result=curl_exec($search);

        $dom = new DOMDocument();
        @$dom->loadHTML($result);

        $xpath=new DOMXPath($dom);
        $elements = $xpath->evaluate("//div[@id='inf']");

        foreach ($elements as $element)
        {

            $position[$sepname1] = $position[$sepname1] + 1;

            foreach($position as $key=>$val)

            $contct  = $element->getElementsByTagName("contact")->item(0)->nodeValue;

            if (preg_match("/$phone/i",$contct)) {
                echo "Found In Database>";

            }

            }

        ob_flush();
        flush();

        }
}
    }

?>

```

The function works perfectly but the only problem that I am having is although a match is found it goes until the last page which is given in the for loop and then goes through the next name. I would like to know is it possible to make when a match is found stop processing and then search for the next name?

I don’t want to use exit(); because it completely stops the execution

The input format is as below  

User inputs names: john, Sam, Michael, Steve  

Phone number:0084554741  

Any help will be appreciated
