Question

I’m using CodeIgniter and I want to display a list of cities in multiple columns in html like this where i can just adjust the number of items inside the <ul> tag and then generate another <ul> tag for the next column

----------------
City name 1     City name 5    City name 9
City name 2     City name 6    City name 10
City name 3     City name 7
City name 4     City name 8
-------------------

I dont know how to make it display like that but here’s my current code that just display everything in 1 column.

<ul>
<?php 
      foreach($row_city as $city):      
        echo "<li>".anchor("#",$city->city_name)."</li>";
      endforeach; 
?>
</ul>

You don’t need to use tables. Simply use this code:

$i = 0;
echo "<ul>";
foreach($row_city as $city):      
    if ($i != 0 && $i%4 == 0) {
       echo "</ul><ul>";
    }
    echo "<li>".anchor("#",$city->city_name)."</li>";
    $i++;
endforeach; 
echo "</ul>";

and just float the lists next to each other.
