Help with Array Please

[fmpros]

Good Afternoon!

I would really appreciate some help with this array issue.  This code works when I statically assign the $query array values as shown below.  Requests however, can vary in quantity, so I need the $query array values to be dynamic.  Can someone more experienced than myself help me solve the issue? 

$n = 0;
foreach($complete_req as $myItem ){
	 ${'request' . $n }['_kf_personnel'] = $_POST['uid'];
	 ${'request' . $n }['_kf_requirementP'] = $complete_req[$n];
	 #${'request' . $n }['request'] = 'request'.$n;
	 #$set .=  '$request'.$n.', '    ;
	 $n = $n + 1;	 
	} 
$query = array ($request0, $request1 , $request2);  //Statically assigned array values but needs to be dynamic

I am completely unfamiliar with the syntax you are using.

Add them to the array inside the loop.

Is your array really $request1 or $request2, etc.???  Why the numbers?  Why not simply $request [1][....] and $request[2][....]  ?

I think you're right...calling $request[0], etc, makes more sense.  I'm new to arrays and having them nested is throwing me off.  Do you have a snippet or example you could show me by chance?  Not sure how to translate what I have into the proper format.  

Thanks!!!!

Maybe something like this. I cannot guarantee the code as we don't know what you have now or what the correct format is.

But it should give you something to work on.

$n = 0;
$query = []; 
foreach($complete_req as $myItem ){
    $query['request'][$n]['_kf_personnel'] = $_POST['uid'];
    $query['request'][$n]['_kf_requirementP'] = $complete_req[$n];
    $n = $n + 1;     
}

This worked!  I very much appreciate your time and assistance!  Thanks again!
