How to add items to multidimensional array in php?

Question

I want to build an array of arrays which in the next step will be used as argument to json_encode() .

Each element in the array looks like this:

$element = array(
                 'ITEM_ID' => $itemID,
                 'STATUS' => $status
                )

An example of a desired result with two elements is:

array( array('ITEM_ID' => 1,'STATUS' => "ok"), array('ITEM_ID' => 2,'STATUS' => "not ok") )

I have tried:

array_push($elementArray, $element1);
array_push($elementArray, $element2); 

But is does not give the desired result. What should I do?

Answer 1

push_array is not a php functionyou can try with array_push() or more simple

Try with

$element = array(
    'ITEM_ID' => $itemID,
    'STATUS' => $status
)

$element2 = array(
    'ITEM_ID' => $itemID,
    'STATUS' => $status
)

$finalArray[] = $element;
$finalArray[] = $element2;

echo "<pre>";
print_r($finalArray);
