Expandable Categories	Can't Post

I am trying to use an Accordion Menu Script (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ddaccordionmenu.htm)

So far, I am getting shaky results.

I have:

<?php
$lastCategory = "";
foreach ($hpmenuRecords as $hpmenuRecord):
$showHeader = false;
if ($hpmenuRecord['category'] != $lastCategory) {
$lastCategory = $hpmenuRecord['category'];
$showHeader = true;
}
?>
<?php if ($showHeader): ?>
<h3 class="menuheader expandable"><?php echo $hpmenuRecord['category'] ?></h3>
<ul class="categoryitems"><?php endif ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $hpmenuRecord['link'] ?>"><?php echo $hpmenuRecord['title'] ?></a></li>
</ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>

It is not showing up right.

The page I am working on is:

A non-CMS Builder page where it works "out of the box" is:

Hi sagentic,

It's adding a closing </ul> after each item. We need it to add that only once after each list of items but before the next header starts. Try adding the code in red:

Code

<?php 
$lastCategory = ""; 
foreach ($hpmenuRecords as $hpmenuRecord): 
  $showHeader = false; 
  if ($hpmenuRecord['category'] != $lastCategory) { 
    $lastCategory = $hpmenuRecord['category']; 
    $showHeader = true; 
  } 
?> 
 
<?php if ($showHeader): ?> 
  <?php if ($lastCategory): ?></ul><?php endif; ?> 
  <h3 class="menuheader expandable"><?php echo $hpmenuRecord['category'] ?></h3> 
  <ul class="categoryitems"> 
<?php endif ?> 
 
<li><a href="<?php echo $hpmenuRecord['link'] ?>"><?php echo $hpmenuRecord['title'] ?></a></li> 
</ul> 
<?php endforeach; ?>  
</ul>

Let me know if that fixes it.
