php array loop to get array

Question

I have a $date array like this:

[1]=> array(11) {
    ["meetingname"]=> string(33) "win2008connectcurrent0423131"
    [0]=> array(3) {
        ["scoid"]=> string(7) "3557012"
        ["datecreated"]=> string(19) "2013-05-23 10:02:39"
        ["numparticipants"]=> string(1) "3"
    }
    [1]=> array(3) {
        ["scoid"]=> string(7) "3557012"
        ["datecreated"]=> string(19) "2013-05-23 14:40:06"
        ["numparticipants"]=> string(1) "3"
    }
}   

foreach($date[0] as $key =>  $meetings){
    print "$key = $meetings\n";////yields scoid = 3557012
}

And, as you can see above, I am looping over individual elements. The first element (not indexed) is always meetingname; the rest of the elements are indexed and themselves contain arrays with three elements in each array--in the above code they are [0] and [1].

What I need to do is make the $meetings as an array containing [0] and then [1] etc, depending on the number of elements. So essentially, the output for print should be an array (I can also use var_dump) with key/values of [0] but right not it only outputs individual keys and their values, for example, as you can see above, scoid=3557012. I will need, something all keys/values in the $meetings variable, something like:

{
    ["scoid"]=> string(7) "3557012"
    ["datecreated"]=> string(19) "2013-05-23 10:02:39"
    ["numparticipants"]=> string(1) "3"
}

How can I fix the foreach loop for that?

Why don't you include the arrays you want inside your question? print_r is okey, but still everybody will be wasting time converting it into a real array. — tftd

I think I have the desired array as code block at the nearly very end of my Question--that's how the $meetings should look like. — IrfanClemson

You can just create a new array and add the meetings to that one

<?php
$meetings = array();
foreach($date[1] as $key=>$meeting) {
  if (!is_int($key))
    continue;  //only handle numeric keys, incase you ever change the name of the first key 'meetingname'

  $meetings[] = $meeting
}

var_dump($meetings);
?>

Hi, $date[1] is not an element--it must be $date[0]. Anyway, @Hasina's answer is working. Thanks for your help!
