PHP: Array of Array's

In my current project I wish to have an array filled with arrays. The way I comprehend the objective is to have a master array labeled $Master and fill this with minor arrays labeled $Minor. Then later extract the $Minor from the $Major and list the variables stored within. The code I created to do this does not perform to the design I wish to have.

PHP:

$Major= array();
$Minor= array();
for ($outerloop=0; $outerloop<3; $outerloop++)
{
  for ($loop=0; $loop<3; $loop++)
  {
    $Minor[$loop]= $name;
  }
  $Major[$outerloop]=$Minor;
}
......

$amount=count($Major);
for ($loop=0; $loop<=$amount;$loop++)
{
  $Minor=$Major[$loop];
  echo $Minor[0];
  echo $Minor[1];
  echo $Minor[3];
}

Now my problem is that when i execute this code if the $names are("Phil","Bill","Adam") The output will only be "Phi". So as you can see this is not the response I want. Plz help

 

Im not to sure what your trying to do, but echo $Minor[3]; does NOT exist because you did while < 3 not <= 3, so your loop is gonna go, 0, 1, 2


Make that echo $Minor[2]; and you will get a few more values to print.

 

This is just an example it is not exactly like what I am working on. All I want to do is find out how to store 1 array, full of information, into another array. Then I will worry about figuring out how to retrieve it.
Is the proper form:
Ex.)
$Major[$outerloop]=$Minor;
OR
$Major[$outerloop]=$Minor[];
OR something totally else. Should I use push and pop? and again with brackets without. Somehow my program is not storing the array, of information, into the other array, it is only storing partial information.
