You need to have your mod % either close the li or open the li, not deal with the div.

So something like this:

$counter = 1;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    if ( $counter % 5 == 1 ) {           
        echo '<li>';
    }
    echo '<div class="title">'.$row['title'].'</div>';
    if ( $counter % 5 == 0 ) {           
        echo '</li>';
    }
    $counter ++;
}
if ( $counter % 5 != 1 ) {           
    echo '</li>';
}

Haven’t tested it, but it should help set you on the right path.
