  '8 . 0' => string '8 . 0' (length=5)

array (size=1)
  '8 . 15' => string '8 . 15' (length=6)

array (size=1)
  '8 . 30' => string '8 . 30' (length=6)

array (size=1)
  '8 . 45' => string '8 . 45' (length=6)

array (size=1)
  '9 . 0' => string '9 . 0' (length=5

  for ($j = 0; $j <= 45; $j+=15)
  {
    //inside the inner loop
    $opti= $i.' . '. $j;

You are overwriting your array on each loop

$timeinoption=array($opti=>$opti);

So there will only be 1 value in your array.

Try changing to

$timeinoption[$opti]= $opti;

You have to array inside the loop :

$timeinoption = array();
for ($i = 8; $i <= 17; $i++)
{
  for ($j = 0; $j <= 45; $j+=15)
  {
    //inside the inner loop
    $opti= $i.' . '. $j;
    $timeinoption[$opti]  = $opti;
    }
  //inside the outer loop    

}

Easy Way to Put loop Dropdown in CI

$d_opt = array(0 => 'DD');

for($i=1;$i<=31;$i++)
{
    if(strlen($i)<2)
    {
        $i = 0 . $i;    
    }
    $d_opt[$i]=$i;
}

echo form_dropdown('date',$d_opt);

This does not appear to produce the expected output of 8:00, 8:15, 8:30... that the OP asked for.
