Loop within loop: in controller or in the view?

[eluser]obiron2[/eluser]
you want to end up with a data set that looks like this:

$animals = array('dogs' => array('rover','gnasher'),'cats'=> array('kitty','fluffy','max'))

in your view you can then nest the loops

Code:

foreach ($animals as $animaltype => $animalnames)
{
  print "$animaltype<BR>";
  foreach ($animalnames as $animalname)
  {
    print "    - $animalname<BR>";
  }
  print "<BR>";
}

how you get the data into that format is up to you.
