I think you may want to associate the value of the first array with the values of the second array.

$finalArray = array();
foreach($firstArray as $name) {
    $finalArray[$name] = $secondArray;
}
print_r($finalArray);

You will get :

Array
(
    [john] => Array
              (
                  [dept]=>engineering  
                  [sub]=>trigonometry  
                  [time]=>08:00  
              )
    [peter] => Array
              (
                  [dept]=>engineering  
                  [sub]=>trigonometry  
                  [time]=>08:00  
              )
)

Does this help you?
