Generating arrays inside for loop

Question

I have the two following variables:

$contact_number=array('0123456','65321');
$msg="My Text" ;

I am trying to create an array like following using the above variables

$myarray =array(
       array("0" => "0123456", "1" => "My Text"),
       array("0" => "65321", "1" => "My Text")
 );

I have tried the following code but it is not creating the exact array live above:

for($i=0; $i < count($contact_number); $i++ ) {
      $myarray[] =array(array("0" =>$contact_number[$i], "1" =>$msg),);
  }

 var_dump($myarray);

Could you please tell me how to solve this problem

You can loop through every contact number, and append a message like this:

$contact = array('0123456','65321');
$message = "My Text" ;

$array = array();

foreach($contact as $value) {
    $array[] = array($value, $message);
}

var_export($array);

Produces this:

array (
  0 => 
  array (
    0 => '0123456',
    1 => 'My Text',
  ),
  1 => 
  array (
    0 => '65321',
    1 => 'My Text',
  ),
)

You just need to append the new array values:

  $myarray[] = array("0" => $contact_number[$i], "1" => $msg);

The double nesting array( array(0=>.., 1=>..) ) was redundant, because assigning using $array[] = already creates a new subarray.

See http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php#~square+bracket+syntax

$contact_number=array('0123456','65321');
$msg="My Text" ;

foreach($contact_number as $key => $number) {
    $my_array[] = array($key => $number, $key+1 => $msg);
}
var_dump($my_array);

the above will result

array (size=2)

0 =>

array (size=2)

  0 => string '0123456' (length=7)

  1 => string 'My Text' (length=7)

1 =>

array (size=2)

  1 => string '65321' (length=5)

  2 => string 'My Text' (length=7)

screw my internet connection, someone already answered ..
