PHP Foreach with two queries - php

Question

Ok i have one query in codeigniter where i select all data
function get_story()
{
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('stories');
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query;
}
then i make another query with data from another table
function get_stories()
{
$this->db->from('stories');
$this->db->join('stories_to_categories', 'stories.id = stories_to_categories.story');
$this->db->join('categories', 'stories_to_categories.category = categories.id');
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query;
}
Then i am trying to create table with data from two queries. Making one query with another JOIN its not option. I created foreach
foreach($story->result() as $row)
{
echo '<tr>
<td>'.$row->title_english.'</td>
<td>'?????????????????????????????????????????????????????</td>
<td align="center">
<img src="'.site_url('admin/images/icons/pencil.png').'" class="tooltip" title="'.lang('edit').'" />
<img src="'.site_url('admin/images/icons/minus-circle.png').'" class="tooltip" title="'.lang('delete').'" />
</td>
</tr>
';
echo '<div id="delete_'.$row->id.'" style="display: none;">
<h1>'.lang('client_delete').'</h1><br />
'.lang('story_confirm_delete').'
<br /><br />
<span><span>'.lang('yes').'</span></span>
<span><span>'.lang('no').'</span></span>
<br /><br />
</div>';
}
In td tag where is ???? i need results from second query, i have no idea how to insert data from second query into foreach??? Does somebody have idea, helpe is really needed?

If I understand your question, I think you just need to use string concatenation. Prepare your HTML output into a variable and print it later.
$html = '<table>';
foreach($story->result() as $row)
{
$html .= '<tr>';
$html .= '<td>'.$row->title_english.'</td>';
$html .= '<td>';
foreach($stories->result() as $row2){
// display your second query result here
$html .= '?????????????????????????????????????????????????????';
}
$html .= '</td>';
$html .= '<td align="center">';
$html .= '<img src="'.site_url('admin/images/icons/pencil.png').'" class="tooltip" title="'.lang('edit').'" />';
$html .= '<img src="'.site_url('admin/images/icons/minus-circle.png').'" class="tooltip" title="'.lang('delete').'" />';
$html .= '</td>';
$html .= '</tr>';
$html .= '<div id="delete_'.$row->id.'" style="display: none;">';
$html .= '<h1>'.lang('client_delete').'</h1><br />';
$html .= lang('story_confirm_delete');
$html .= '<br /><br />';
$html .= '<span><span>'.lang('yes').'</span></span>';
$html .= '<span><span>'.lang('no').'</span></span>';
$html .= '<br /><br />';
$html .= '</div>';
}
$html .= '</table>';
echo $html;
