Currently it looks as if you are overwriting the values of the first person with the values of the second person.

What you’re looking for is an array structure with more than one dimension, like this:

$people = array(
   1 => array('name' => 'John', 'age' => 12),
   2 => array('name' => 'Mary', 'age' => 14)
);

Then it’ll be easy to print out table rows:

foreach($people as $id => $person){
   print '<tr><td>'.$id.'</td><td>'.$person['name'].'</td><td>'.$person['age'].'</td></tr>';
}//foreach

Hope this helps!
