PHP adding specific key values into pre-existing array

Question

I have an array:

$test = Array
        (
            ["foo"] => Array
                (
                    ["totalsales"] => 80
                    ["totalamount"] => 4
                )
         (

I want to add new indices with values:

$test["foo"][$date] = 20; // $date = 2013-06-30
$test["foo"][$date] = 40; // $date = 2013-06-25

The output looks like this:

$test = Array
        (
            ["foo"] => Array
                (
                    ["totalsales"] => 80
                    ["totalamount"] => 4
                    ["2013-06-25"] => 40
                )
         (

I would expect the array to look like this:

$test = Array
        (
            ["foo"] => Array
                (
                    ["totalsales"] => 80
                    ["totalamount"] => 4
                    ["2013-06-30"] => 20
                    ["2013-06-25"] => 40
                )
         (

How can this be done? Thanks and sry for my bad english.

Unless you have syntax errors, it should work fine. You're not doing something correctly. Or maybe you don't update the date? — Miro Markaravanes

The code you provided doesn't parse.

Make sure $date variable contains exactly what it should, since (other than syntax problems) your example works perfectly fine:

<?php
$test = array
(
    'foo' => array
    (
        'totalsales' => 80,
        'totalamount' => 4
    )
);

$date = '2013-06-30';
$test['foo'][$date] = 20;

$date = '2013-06-25';
$test['foo'][$date] = 40;

print_r($test);

Outputs:

Array
(
    [foo] => Array
        (
            [totalsales] => 80
            [totalamount] => 4
            [2013-06-30] => 20
            [2013-06-25] => 40
        )
)

Thanks for the quick reply. I had an error in a previous section of my code :-)
