Fixing multidimensional array - php

Question

I'm trying to make a multidimensional array that should print out like this (without formatting):
array(3) {
[0]=> array(5) {
[0]=> int(0)
[1]=> string(5) "Arena"
[2]=> string(18) "2012-05-3017:00:00"
[3]=> string(18) "2012-05-3000:00:00"
[4]=> string(33) "Masquerade Checkin (Participants)"
},
[1]=> array(5) {
[0]=> int(0)
[1]=> string(10) "Workshop 1"
[2]=> string(18) "2012-05-3017:00:00"
[3]=> string(18) "2012-05-3000:00:00"
[4]=> string(15) "Death Note (Live)"
},
[2]=> array(5) {
[0]=> int(0)
[1]=> string(7) "Video 6"
[2]=> string(18) "2012-05-3017:00:00"
[3]=> string(18) "2012-05-3000:00:00"
[4]=> string(26) "Takeuchi Fan Panel"
}
}
Notice from the above code that the inner array() length is always 5.
Here is my code below:
$loopsArray = array();
$data=array();
// graphing info come in here.
foreach ($events as $key => $event) {
$el=$event['event_location'] ;
$eln=$event['event_locationName'];
$ed=$event['event_date'];
$es=$event['event_start'];
$ee=$event['event_end'];
$en=$event['event_name'];
array_push($loopsArray,$el,$eln, $ed.$es,$ed.$ee,$en);
array_push($data,$loopsArray);
}
var_dump($data);
Here the print out
array(27) {
[0]=> array(5) {
[0]=> int(0)
[1]=> string(5) "Arena"
[2]=> string(18) "2012-05-3017:00:00"
[3]=> string(18) "2012-05-3000:00:00"
[4]=> string(33) "Masquerade Checkin (Participants)"
}
[1]=> array(10) {
[0]=> int(0)
[1]=> string(5) "Arena"
[2]=> string(18) "2012-05-3017:00:00"
[3]=> string(18) "2012-05-3000:00:00"
[4]=> string(33) "Masquerade Checkin (Participants)"
[5]=> int(13)
[6]=> string(11) "Autograph 1"
[7]=> string(18) "2012-06-2419:00:00"
[8]=> string(18) "2012-06-2422:00:00"
[9]=> string(17) "Parents and Anime"
}
//... continues
}
Notice that the inner arrays length double each iteration. array(5) array(10) array(15)array(20).
It doubles up to 60 elements in the last inner array. Each inner array should only have 5 elements in them. I don't understand why it is doubling or how to fix it.
Can you look over my loop and let me know how to fix it?
I have to use this multidimensional array for this code to work in JpGraph.

TIP : write $loopsArray = array(); inside foreach
better approach
instead of
array_push($loopsArray,$el,$eln, $ed.$es,$ed.$ee,$en);
array_push($data,$loopsArray);
try this
$temp = array ($el,$eln, $ed.$es,$ed.$ee,$en);
$data[] = $temp;
