populate php multidimenssional array with foreach loop - php

Question

I need to create an array like the following:
$va_body=array(
"bundles" => array(
"$table.$elem" => array("convertCodesToDisplayText" => true),
"$table.$elem" => array("convertCodesToDisplayText" => true),
)
);
$table is a string that does not change and $elem is extracted from an array.
I got close with the following code, but it ends up with only the last value from $bund, $bund is an array with two values. I guess the array is redeclared in each loop?
$va_body=array(); // declare the array outside the loop
foreach ($bund as $elem ) {
$va_body['bundles'] = array($table.".".$elem=>array("convertCodesToDisplayText" => true));
}
$bund array has two elements "description" and "type_id".
$va_body['bundles'][] // Adding [] doesn't work as it modifies the expected outcome.
print_r($va_body) looks like this:
Array (
[bundles] => Array (
[ca_objects.type_id] => Array (
[convertCodesToDisplayText] => 1
)
)
)
I need it to be:
Array (
[bundles] => Array (
[ca_objects.description] => Array (
[convertCodesToDisplayText] => 1
)
[ca_objects.type_id] => Array (
[convertCodesToDisplayText] => 1
)
)
)
Thanks in advance.

Using:
$va_body['bundles'][] = array($table.".".$elem=>array("convertCodesToDisplayText" => true));
print_r($va_body); looks like this:
Array (
[bundles] => Array (
[0] => Array (
[ca_objects.description] => Array (
[convertCodesToDisplayText] => 1
)
)
[1] => Array (
[ca_objects.type_id] => Array (
[convertCodesToDisplayText] => 1
)
)
)
)
And I need it to be like this:
Array (
[bundles] => Array (
[ca_objects.description] => Array (
[convertCodesToDisplayText] => 1
)
[ca_objects.type_id] => Array (
[convertCodesToDisplayText] => 1
)
)
)
Answer by #phpisuber01:
$va_body['bundles'][$table.".".$elem] = array("convertCodesToDisplayText" => true);
Thank you very much!

Answer 1

You need to make an array of arrays. In your loop change the following line:
$va_body['bundles'][$table.".".$elem] = array("convertCodesToDisplayText" => true);
Added [] after $va_body['bundles'].
All this does is keep adding the new bundles into the array. Your original code is overwriting bundles each iteration. That's why you only get the last one.
Updated to get closer to OP's exact needs.

Answer 2

$va_body = array();
$va_body['bundles'] = array();
foreach ($bund AS $elem)
{
$va_body['bundles']["{$table}.{$elem}"] = array("convertCodesToDisplayText" => true);
}
