Question

Please help me to view in PHP (I’m using the CodeIgniter framwork) something like what’s shown in image 2.
From the database I select:

• Categ 1 -> Item 1
• Categ 1 -? Item 2
• ……
• Categ 2 -? Item 1
• Categ x -> Item x

One Item can have many Categ.

     <div>
          <ul>
             <li>
                <div class="programe-tv_link">
                    <p>Categ 1</p> 
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 1</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 2</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 3</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 4</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 5</a></dd>
                </div>
                <div class="programe-tv_link">
                    <p>Categ 2</p>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 1</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 6</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 7</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 8</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 9</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 2</a></dd>
                </div>
            </li>
            <li>
                <div class="programe-tv_link">
                    <p>Categ 5</p> 
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 1</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 2</a></dd>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 3</a></dd>
                </div>
                <div class="programe-tv_link">
                    <p>Categ 4</p>
                   <dd> <a href="">>> Item 1</a></dd>
                </div>
            </li>
          </ul>
    </div>

I attach image with illustration. I make view like image 1 where all is selected good only in one <li> tag; I need something like IMAGE 2.

My final solution is.

    <div id="programe-tv-slide" class="flexslider">
        <strong>Programe TV</strong>
        <div class="redLine"></div>

        <?php $cat_cnl = array(); 
              $list = array(); 
              $i=1;
                 foreach ($category_chaneels as $option) { 
                    $catname = $option['category_name'];
                    $chlname = $option['channel_name'];

                    $cat_cnl[$catname][$i] = $chlname;
                    $list[$i] = $catname;
              $i++;
                 }; 
        ?>
        <?php 
            $rows = array_chunk($cat_cnl, 4, TRUE);
            foreach ($rows as $row) {  //var_dump($rows);
        ?>

          <ul class="slides">    
            <?php
                echo ('<li>');
                foreach ($row as $category => $channels) {
                    echo '<div class="programe-tv_link">'; 
                    echo '<p>' . $category . '</p>'; 
                        foreach ($channels as $channel) {
                                echo '<dd><a href="">' . $channel . '</a></dd> '; 
                        };
                    echo '</div>'; 
                    };      
                echo ('</li>'); 
            ?>
          </ul>
          <?php }; ?>
    </div>
