(UPDATED AGAIN)

<?php
echo '<script>var newUL = $("<ul>';
for($i=1;$i<=4;$i++)
{
    echo "<li>test</li>"; // UPDATED according to new code
}
echo '</ul>");';
echo "\n";
echo '$("#filemanager li").click(function(){$(this).append(newUL);});</script>';
?>

There is no reason at all to use PHP for this task, PHP will not run on click (unless you are using AJAX to make a call to the server). You only need Javascript for this:

$("#filemanager li").click(function(){
   $(this).append('<ul><li>test</li></ul>');
});

If you need to do this for an arbitrary number of elements:

$("#filemanager li").click(function(){
   var elem = '<ul>';
   for(var i = 0; i <= 4; i++){
      elem += '<li>test</li>';
   }
   elem += '</ul>';
   $(this).append(elem);
});
