// something like this?:
$grouped = array();
foreach ($data as $d) {
$cid = $d['customerid'];
if (!isset($grouped[$cid])) {
$grouped[$cid] = array(
'cust' => "{$cid} - {$d['name']}";
'data' => array();
);
}
// I dont know exactly what constitutes an order line
// - your example doesn't make it clear
$grouped[$cid]['data'][] = "make a string of the current orderline here!";
}
foreach ($grouped as $cid => $data) {
echo $data['cust'],"\n";
foreach ($data['data'] as $orderline) echo $orderline,"\n";
