How to convert MySqli Loop Code Laravel controller - laravel-5

Question

I want to work on a while loop in a foreach loop but I can't convert it to Laravel controller system. Please help.
foreach (range('a', 'z') as $i)
{
echo $i = strtolower($i);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `list` Where name like '$i%' Limit 30";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
echo"<hr><h3>Name Starting with ".strtoupper($i)."</h3>";
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
$id = $row['id'];
$name = $row['name'];
echo "<li>".$row['name']."</li>";
}
echo "<li>More</li>";
echo "</ul>";
}
The code in Laravel that I have is
foreach (range('a', 'z') as $i)
{
$list = DB::table('list')->where('name', 'LIKE', $i.'%')->limit(30)->get();
return view('pages.all', ['list' => $list]);
}
This code only gives data for names starting with alphabet "a" but won't proceed with the rest of the characters.

Answer 1

Store it on the array based on your search.
$list = array();
foreach (range('a', 'z') as $i) {
$list[$i] = DB::table('list')->where('name', 'LIKE', $i.'%')->limit(30)->get();
}
return view('pages.all', ['list' => $list]);
Customize your view, to showing the list against each character (a-z).
[Edit]
View file can be changed like below,
#foreach ($list as $keyI => $moredata)
<hr>
<h3>Author's Name Starting with "{{strtoupper($keyI)}}"</h3>
<ul class="tags-list">
#foreach ($moredata as $data)
<li>{{$data->name}}</li>
#endforeach
</ul>
#endforeach
