How to store values from foreach loop into an array?

I'm trying to create a multidimensional array in Laravel 5.8 but I can't seem to get it to work.
It's running on PHP 7.3 and Laravel 5.8.
Here's what I've already try:
foreach ($locations as $location) {
$email_data = array($address => array($location));
}
$arr = array($email_data[count($email_data)-1] => $address);
for ($i=count($email_data) - 2 ; $i>=0 ; $i--) {
$arr = array($email_data[$i] => $arr);
}
foreach ($ageMatches as $ageMatch) {
$age['Age'] = $ageMatch[1];
array_push($arr, $age);
}
Here's the data I'm using:
ELY FARM
THE ADDRESS
BW8010 2.55 UNIT 1
Logged 03 JUN 19 23:59
SUMMARY REPORT
----UNIT 1 PERCH 1-----
House 1, Pen 1
Age DAYS 7
Total 3997
Average GMS 64
Deviation GMS 14
Evenness % 29
C.V. % 21.9
Daily gain GMS 9
----UNIT 1 PERCH 2-----
House 1, Pen 2
Age DAYS 7
Total 3849
Average GMS 73
Deviation GMS 17
Evenness % 29
C.V. % 23.3
Daily gain GMS 9
So I want to to be like:
array(
"Ely Farm" => array(
"Unit 1 Perch 1" => array(
"Age" => 7,
"Total" => 3849,
),
"Unit 1 Perch 2" => array(
"Age" => 7,
)
),
"Next Location" => array(
array(
),
);
At the moment I have the following and I can't work where I'm going wrong (if I dump $location[1] it does come out with the location instead of hyphens but when I don't dump it comes out as below).
array:1 [▼
"Ely Farm" => array:1 [▼
0 => array:2 [▼
0 => "------------------------"
1 => "---------------"
]
]
]

In this block you are rewriting $email_data each iteration
foreach ($locations as $location) {
$email_data = array($address => array($location));
}
What you should do instead is
foreach ($locations as $location) {
$email_data[] = array($address => array($location));
}
This will continuously add the values instead of replacing them. You have the same issue below too with $arr
