How do I run foreach arrays?

I am running a database with two tables Providers and Learners, they are linked by a provider code on each table. So some learners are linked to the same provider. How can I make it show this for example:

Provider1
Learner1
Learner2
Learner3
Learner4

Provider2
Learner5
Learner6
Learner9
Learner24

Select the results from the table, joining the Providers and Learners together, then:

[code]
<?php

### This is an example of a MySQL result.
$mysql_row_result = array(
### Each of these represent a row.
array(
### And each of these a field/value pair.
Provider => 'Provider1',
Learner => 'Learner1',
),
array(
Provider => 'Provider1',
Learner => 'Learner2',
),
array(
Provider => 'Provider1',
Learner => 'Learner3',
),
array(
Provider => 'Provider1',
Learner => 'Learner4',
),
array(
Provider => 'Provider2',
Learner => 'Learner5',
),
array(
Provider => 'Provider2',
Learner => 'Learner6',
),
array(
Provider => 'Provider2',
Learner => 'Learner9',
),
array(
Provider => 'Provider2',
Learner => 'Learner24',
),
);

$previous_provider = '';
### Coming from MySQL, you don't want the foreach, you want
### while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
foreach ($mysql_row_result as $row) {
if ($row['Provider'] != $previous_provider) {
echo '<b>', $row['Provider'], '</b><br />';
}
echo $row['Learner'], '<br />';
$previous_provider = $row['Provider'];
}

?>
[/code]
