Making a nested array in php

Question

Probably my question is too much common or easy for you, but I really have no idea how to do it. Trying all everything I know and lots of googling didn't help me.

I just need a nested array.

Here is my PHP code:

EDITED
Corrected: $data['product_names'][$language['language_id']][] = array(

$data['product_names'] = array();

foreach ($data['languages'] as $language) {
    $product_names_info = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategoryMultiLang($this->request->get['product_id'], $language['language_id']);

    if ($product_names_info) {
        $data['product_names'][$language['language_id']][] = array(
            'category_id' => $product_names_info['category_id'],
            'language_id' => $product_names_info['language_id'],
            'name'        => $product_names_info['name']
        );
    }
}

print_r($data['product_names']);

The result that I get:

Array
(
    [5] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [category_id] => 
                    [language_id] => 
                    [name] => 
                )

        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [category_id] => 
                    [language_id] => 
                    [name] => 
                )

        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [category_id] => 
                    [language_id] => 
                    [name] => 
                )

        )

    ...

The result should look like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [language_id] => 1
            [category_id] => 8
            [name] => book
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [language_id] => 5
            [category_id] => 188
            [name] => magazine
        )

...
)
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [language_id] => 1
            [category_id] => 8
            [name] => buch
        )

...

UPDATED
The result of print_r($product_names_info); inside foreach ($data['languages'] as $key => $language) {

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [language_id] => 5
            [category_id] => 8
            [name] => Gecelik
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [language_id] => 5
            [category_id] => 188
            [name] => Sabahlık
        )

    ...

)
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [language_id] => 2
            [category_id] => 8
            [name] => لباس خواب
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [language_id] => 2
            [category_id] => 188
            [name] => Sabahlık
        )

Thanks for any kind help.

what's the actual result? however you seem need to remove this [$language] — hassan

$language is an array, you used it as a key, I think that's the problem — Rahul

@rahulsm seems that $language is not an array, maybe it's a string — hassan

$data['product_names'] = array();

foreach ($data['languages'] as $language) {
    $product_names_info = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategoryMultiLang($this->request->get['product_id'], $language['language_id']);

    if ($product_names_info) {
        foreach ($product_names_info as $key => $value) {
            $data['product_names'][$language['language_id']][] = array(
                'category_id' => $value['category_id'],
                'language_id' => $value['language_id'],
                'name'        => $value['name'],
            );
        }

    }
}

print_r($data['product_names']);

I think you were missing foreach for the data you fetched into var $product_names_info
