How to "pause" a foreach loop to output few HTML lines

Question

So let's say I have an array with key => values I want to output in 2 different HTML lists. Is it possible to do so by using the same loop?

<ul>
    // Start foreach and get keys and values**
    <li>$key</li>
    // "Pause" foreach to output the next couple of lines once
</ul>
<ul>
    // Resume foreach
    <li>$value</li>
    // End foreach
</ul>

The output should be

Key 1
Key 2
Key 3

Value 1
Value 2
Value 3

no, the only way to do it in a single loop, would be to save the second <li> array into a varaible, and after the firt loop its over, output it — Ricardo Garza V.

Think your looking for something like this:

<?php

    $array = array("k1" => "v1", "k2" => "v2", "k3" => "v3");
    $keys = "";
    $values = "";

    foreach($array as $k => $v) {
        $keys .= "<li>" . $k . "</li>";
        $values .= "<li>" . $v . "</li>";
    }

    echo "<ul>" . $keys . "</ul>";
    echo "<ul>" . $values . "</ul>";

?>

Output:

k1
k2
k3
v1
v2
v3

you could use array_chunk($array, 3, false); Then iterate through the sub_arrays into the differrnt lists

To iterate through the array :

foreach(**array_chunk($array, 3, false) as $container**){


                echo '**<div><ul>**';

   foreach($container as $val){

             echo '<li> ' . $val[] . ' </li>';

}

          echo "**</ul></div>**";
}
