Duplicated code/design pattern missed?

In my OPML parsing class I have the following method:

bc. function getBlog()
{
static $count = 0;
static $total;

if ($total == ”) {
$total = count($this->data);
}

if ($total == $count) {
return false;
}
$blog = &new Blog($this->data[$count]);
$count++;
return $blog;
}

and in the Blog class I have:

bc. function getEntry()
{
static $count = 0;
static $total;

if ($total == ”) {
$total = count($this->data);
}

if ($total == $count) {
return false;
}
$item = &new Item($this->data[$count]);
$count++;
return $item;
}

Pretty much repeated code. Which is going to appear in many other classes as well.

So how can I factor this out? Is there a design pattern that should be used here? Or is this a duplication of code I have to live with?
