is the list in a string, a file or an array?
Assume your list is in $names:
foreach ($n as $names)
{
$firstletter = substring($n, 0, 1);
if ($lastone != $firstletter) print "-bold- $n -bold- \n";
else print "$n\n";
$lastone = $firstletter;
}
foreach ($n as $names)
{
$firstletter = substring($n, 0, 1);
if ($lastone != $firstletter) print "-bold- $n -bold- \n";
else print "$n\n";
$lastone = $firstletter;
}
