Question

hi to all stackoverflow members, please help me with my problem regarding array manipulation.

stores_array:  
Array
(
    [0] => store1
    [1] =>store2
)  

items_array:  
Array  
(  
  [electronics]=>led tv  
  [cosmetics]=>eyeliner  
  [fruits]=>apple 
  [vegetables]=>cabbage  
)  

here is what i have so far:

$new_array = array();
  foreach($stores_array as $t) {
      $new_array[$t] = $items_array;
  }

    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($new_array);  
    echo '<pre/>';  

here is the output:

Array
(
[store1] => Array
    (
      [electronics]=>led tv  
      [cosmetics]=>eyeliner  
      [fruits]=>apple 
      [vegetables]=>cabbage  
    )  
[store2] => Array
    (
      [electronics]=>led tv  
      [cosmetics]=>eyeliner  
      [fruits]=>apple 
      [vegetables]=>cabbage  
    )

Try this:

$new_array = array();
foreach($stores_array as $t) {
    $new_array[$t] = $items_array;
    $new_array[$t]["store"]=$t;
}

echo '<pre>';
print_r($new_array);  
echo '<pre/>';
