<UL> basesd on common id fetch from databse - php

Question

I'm trying to iterate through my array and group li's with their relative ul, based on a common id.
expected result is as follows
<ul>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
<li>a</li>
<li>g</li>
<li>e</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>d</li>
<li>f</li>
<li>i</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>d</li>
<li>f</li>
<li>i</li>
</ul>
I have tried following code
<?php
$IMPLODED_trid = 1,2,3,4,5,6 ;
$result=mysqli_query('SELECT * FROM tablegroup where id IN ($IMPLODED_trid)');
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$name=$row['name'];
?>
<ul>
<li><?php $name ;?></li>
</ul>
<?php
}
?>
but above code gives following result
<ul>
<li>c</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>a</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>d</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>i</li>
</ul>

Answer 1

You'll want to use two loops.
One outer for generating the <ul> elements, another for generating the <li> elements within the <ul>
Such code might look like this
<?php
$result = []; //grouped by ul ID
for ($i = 1; $i < count($ids); $i++) {
echo '<ul>';
while ($row = $result[$i])
echo '<li>' . $result[$i]['name'] . '</li>';
echo '</ul>';
}
?>
It's valid PHP but it doesn't work ofcourse.
This is the structure you're looking for tho since you'll want an outer loop to go through the amount of <ul> elements you need and within that loop you'll want to loop through the list-items themselves.
The outer loop wouldn't be needed if you only had one <ul> ofcourse.

Answer 2

Your code is wrong. Put ul tag out of the body of while loop. Try this:
<ul>
<?php
$IMPLODED_trid = 1,2,3,4,5,6 ;
$result=mysqli_query('SELECT * FROM tablegroup where id IN ($IMPLODED_trid)');
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$name=$row['name'];
?>
<li><?php $name ;?></li>
<?php
}
?>
</ul>
