Categories list PHP help

  • Hi there,

    My PHP skills are (still) not what I like them to be, so I was wondering if somebody could help me out here.

    In the end I need this:

    <ul id="filters">
   <li><a href="#" data-filter=".[category-name-here]">green</a>[category-name-here]</li>
</ul>

    I want to accomplish this with listing the categories from WordPress.

    So i.e. I got Categories: Blue, Green and Lovely Pinkish in WP backend, the source will show:

    <ul id="filters>
  <li><a href="#" data-filter=".blue">Blue</a></li>
  <li><a href="#" data-filter=".green">Green</a></li>
  <li><a href="#" data-filter=".lovely-pinkish">Lovely Pinkish</a></li>
</ul>

    Blue, green and lovely-pinkish being WP categories.

    What I got up with is this:

    <a href="#" data-filter=".<?php $category = get_the_category(); echo $category[0]->cat_name; ?>"><?php wp_list_categories(); ?></a>

    Not working so much I’m afraid.

    Help is much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance, with kind regards,
    Paul

    Im still looking in to this, so when somebody has something to add, please don’t hesitate to do so.

    this just came to mind….

    <?php
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
    echo '
<li><a href="#">cat_name . '">' . $category->cat_name .'</a></li>
' ;
  }
?>

    Can’t test it out atm, does this look like a feasible solution?
    Think I’m messing up all the points and apostrophes in the PHP.
