Append a new array to an existing array - php

Question

I am using Codeigniter Sessions to build a "Betslip".
I am adding the team name and odds to the bet slip and then plan to loop through each "bet" element to create a betslip.
The ideal array needs to look like :
[betslip] => Array
(
[bet] => Array
(
[team] => Rayo Vallecano
[odds] => 67/100
)
[bet] => Array
(
[team] => Elche
[odds] => 1/100
)
)
However in my code, I just seem to be overwriting what is already there.
My current PHP code is as follows :
// Get Team Name
$teamname = $this->uri->segment(3);
// Get Odds
$odds1 = $this->uri->segment(4);
$odds2 = $this->uri->segment(5);
$odds = $odds1;
$odds .= "/";
$odds .= $odds2;
// Build An array titled Bet
$bet = array(
'bet' => array(
'team' => urldecode($teamname),
'odds' => $odds
)
);
$betslip = $this->session->userdata('betslip');
// Create The Betslip For The First Time...
if(empty($betslip))
{
$this->session->set_userdata('betslip', $bet);
}
else
{
// Add To The Betslip Array...
$betslip['bet'] = array(
'team' => urldecode($teamname),
'odds' => $odds
);
$this->session->set_userdata('betslip', $betslip);
}
How do I just append a bet to the existing bet slip array?
Is it possible to have multiple array keys with the same name too?
Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

This is not an ideal array
[betslip] => Array
(
[bet] => Array
(
[team] => Rayo Vallecano
[odds] => 67/100
)
[bet] => Array
(
[team] => Elche
[odds] => 1/100
)
)
it should be like
[betslip] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[team] => Rayo Vallecano
[odds] => 67/100
)
[1] => Array
(
[team] => Elche
[odds] => 1/100
)
)
<?php
$item = array();
$item2 = array(
'team' => 1,
'odds' => "1/100"
);
for ($x = 0; $x <= 10; $x++) {
$item[] = $item2;
}
print_r($item);
?>
