Best way to insert an array element inside an array of arrays - php

Question

I'm trying to insert an array element which contains an id for relational data inside an array save multiple records in CakePHP.
This is how the array appears:
[Venue] => Array (
[0] => Array (
[name] => Great mansion
[where] => New York
)
[1] => Array (
[name] => Diamond palace
[where] => London
)
[2] => Array (
[name] => Palazzo Falcone
[where] => Bologna
)
)
I would like to add the architect_id to every element of the array, so:
[Venue] => Array (
[0] => Array (
[name] => Great mansion
[where] => New York
[architect_id] => 33
)
[1] => Array (
[name] => Diamond palace
[where] => London
[architect_id] => 33
)
[2] => Array (
[name] => Palazzo Falcone
[where] => Bologna
[architect_id] => 33
)
)
I'm not sure if what I've wrote is optimized or it can be improved:
$tot = count($this->request->data['Venue']);
for ($i = 0; $i < $tot; $i ++) {
$this->request->data['Venue'][$i]['architect_id'] = $this->Architect->id;
}
$this->Venue->saveAll($this->request->data['Venue']);
The code works but is this a good way to do that?

Answer 1

Your solution is fine so far.
foreach ($this->request->data['Venue'] as &$venue) {
$venue['architect_id'] = $this->Architect->id;
}
Should work too. Decide yourself, which one you find more readable.
