fill mapped array in php controller

Question

I am passing an array from controller to view in PHP CodeIgniter. Here is my code in controller. $gen is any array containing many values.

foreach ($gen as $value) {
    $moviesbyid['similarmovie'] = $this->main_model->getsimilarmovies($value);
}

$this->load->view('home/check.php', $moviesbyid);

But the above code fill $moviesbyid['similarmovie'] array only for one value of $value. I want that it contain all the values returned from getsimilarmovies($value) for every value of $value. How can i do this? Here is the method in model:

public function getsimilarmovies($gener)
{
    $this->db->limit(4);
    $this->db->like('Genre',$gener);
    $query = $this->db->get('sources'); 
    return $query->result();
}

You need to create new items in the array as it loops.
Your code just overwrite the same item every iteration.

foreach ($gen as $value) {
    $moviesbyid['similarmovie'][]=$this->main_model- 
    >getsimilarmovies($value);
}

notice the []
