How to dynamicly get a multi dimensional array? - php

Question

My code just populates the last array in the array $workshops
my loop function populates array $workshops, like so
while (ECSE_purchase::have_products()) {
ECSE_purchase::the_product();
$prodid = ECSE_purchase_product::get_the_ID();
$workshop_data = ETICKETDATA::get_workshop_details_helper($prodid);
$workshops = array();
if($prodid == 565) {
............
} else {
$workshopsTmp = array();
$workshopsTmp['workshop_barcode'] = $data['workshop_barcode'];
$workshopsTmp['workshop_id'] = ECSE_purchase_product::get_the_ID();
$workshopsTmp['workshop_title'] = ECSE_purchase_product::get_the_name();
$workshopsTmp['workshop_time'] = $workshop_data['time'];
$workshopsTmp['workshop_room'] = $workshop_data['room'];
$workshopsTmp['workshop_num_of_tickets'] = ECSE_purchase_product::get_the_QTY();
$workshops[] = $workshopsTmp;
}
But here i just get the last array and not like this:
$workshops = array(array('workshop_barcode' => '0101010101',
'workshop_id' => '589',
'workshop_title' => 'Swimming',
'workshop_time' => '12:00',
'workshop_room' => 'Room 1',
'workshop_num_of_tickets' => '2'),
array('workshop_barcode' => '03030303003',
'workshop_id' => '568',
'workshop_title' => 'Running',
'workshop_time' => '15:00',
'workshop_room' => 'Room 3',
'workshop_num_of_tickets' => '3'),
array('workshop_barcode' => '0505050505',
'workshop_id' => '570',
'workshop_title' => 'Biking',
'workshop_time' => '16:00',
'workshop_room' => 'Room 2',
'workshop_num_of_tickets' => '2'));
Any pointers appreciated.
regards,
just edit the loop

You keep redefining your initial array. Try putting $workshops array before while loop
$workshops = array();
while (ECSE_purchase::have_products()) {
ECSE_purchase::the_product();
$prodid = ECSE_purchase_product::get_the_ID();
$workshop_data = ETICKETDATA::get_workshop_details_helper($prodid);
if($prodid == 565) {
............
} else {
$workshopsTmp = array();
$workshopsTmp['workshop_barcode'] = $data['workshop_barcode'];
$workshopsTmp['workshop_id'] = ECSE_purchase_product::get_the_ID();
$workshopsTmp['workshop_title'] = ECSE_purchase_product::get_the_name();
$workshopsTmp['workshop_time'] = $workshop_data['time'];
$workshopsTmp['workshop_room'] = $workshop_data['room'];
$workshopsTmp['workshop_num_of_tickets'] = ECSE_purchase_product::get_the_QTY();
$workshops[] = $workshopsTmp;
}
