Php 如何对UL中的表值进行分组？

因此，我不确定是我的foreach循环还是我的sql查询需要修复，但我尝试了按“categoryname”分组，但没有效果。我希望类别名称（$qs['name']）只显示一次，并且属于该类别的所有li都显示在其中。任何帮助都会很好。 我所拥有的是：

NEW HAMPSHIRE <--This is $state_name-->
Personal auto <--This is $qs['name']-->
  • Your young drivers—help them play it safe
Personal auto <--This is $qs['name']-->
  • The dangers of drunken driving
Personal auto <--This is $qs['name']-->
  • How to keep your vehicle safe from car thieves
ETC....

新罕布什尔州
个人汽车
•你的年轻车手帮助他们安全驾驶
个人汽车
•醉酒驾驶的危险
个人汽车
•如何保护您的车辆安全，防止车辆被盗
等

代码：

$sql=mysql\u查询(
“选择qs、状态、标题、链接、类别、categoryid、categoryname
来自“irc\u消费者\u内容”`
加入“irc消费者内容”类别`
在irc\u consumer\u content.category=irc\u consumer\u content\u category.categoryid上
按类别名称ASC排序；“”；
$row=mysql\u fetch\u assoc（$sql）；
$states\u array=array（“AL”=>“四个状态主题”，
“CT”=>“康涅狄格主题”，
“NH”=>“新罕布什尔州主题”，
“NJ”=>“新泽西主题”，
“纽约”=>“纽约主题”）；
做{
$qs_数组[$row['state']][]=数组（“qs”=>$row['qs']，
“title”=>$row['title']，
“link”=>$row['link']，
“名称”=>$row['categoryname']）；
}而（$row=mysql_fetch_assoc（$sql））；
可用主题

您可以检查当前类别是否与前一类别相同。因此，您可以相应地打开和关闭
ul

e、 g

非常感谢！这个想法奏效了。我添加了代码以显示它与原始设置的区别（请参见更新）。
$sql = mysql_query(
"SELECT qs, state, title, link, category, categoryid, categoryname
FROM `irc_consumer_content`
JOIN `irc_consumer_content_category`
ON irc_consumer_content.category=irc_consumer_content_category.categoryid
ORDER BY categoryname ASC;");

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql);

$states_array = array(   "AL"=>"Four-state topics",
                        "CT"=>"Connecticut topics",
                        "NH"=>"New Hampshire topics",
                        "NJ"=>"New Jersey topics",
                        "NY"=>"New York topics");

do {
  $qs_array[$row['state']][] = array(  "qs"=>$row['qs'],
                                       "title"=>$row['title'],
                                       "link"=>$row['link'], 
                                       "name"=>$row['categoryname']);
} while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql));
