I am looping through an array, and for each value, I need to insert another array containing a few items. The below code inserts the array fine:

foreach($events as $Key => $val):

 $schedule[$Key] = array( 
 array('event_id' => 'test', 
 'start_date_time' => 'test',
 'end_date_time'=>'test'), ));
endforeach;

And this gives me something like the below:

 Array
(
 [1287039600] => 
 [1287043200] => 
 [1287050400] => 
 [1287054000] => 
 [1287054900] => 
 [1287057600] => 
 [1287061200] => 
 [1287064800] => Array
 (
 [0] => Array
 (
 [event_id] => 'test'
 [start_date_time] => 'test'
 [end_date_time] => 'test'
 )

 )

 [1287068400] => 
 [1287072000] => 
 [1287075600] => 
)

My problem is that I need to insert more than one array for each key, and if i do this, I overwrite the previous entrance.

I think I need to increment the [0] => Array value shown above.

How can this be done?

Update:

I just realized that you always will get only one "child" element per array element, as each $Key is unique in an array anyway. That means you will never have two loops with the same $Key value.

Proof: http://codepad.org/1g4Kjccc

So if you want to insert more than one array for each key, you would have to create these arrays in one loop, e.g.:

$schedule[$Key] = array(array('event_id' => 'test', 
 'start_date_time' => 'test',
 'end_date_time'=>'test'),
 array('event_id' => 'test', 
 'start_date_time' => 'test',
 'end_date_time'=>'test')
 );

Maybe you have to show your "source" array and to explain how you want to create entries...

Old answer: (not wrong but does not make much of a difference ;) (as long as $schedule does not already contain values!))

I think you want:

foreach($events as $Key => $val) 
 if(!isset($schedule[$Key])) 
 $schedule[$Key] = array();
 
 $schedule[$Key][] = array('event_id' => 'test', 
 'start_date_time' => 'test',
 'end_date_time'=>'test');

You are right, that you are constantly overwriting the value... by initializing the element $schedule[$Key] as array once and by using $schedule[$Key][], you append the new value to the array.

See the PHP array manual.
