The problem there is that you've got $a[$year] getting set a bunch of
times. That is busted code. $a[$year] will only contain the LAST value.
Replace that line with this one.
$a[] = array(year=>$year, value=>$value);
OR
$a[$i] = array(year=>$year, value=>$value);
Now $a[0][year] = 20
Perhaps I don't understand what it is you're looking for, but...
$a = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < $maxvalue; $i++)
{
$a[$year] = $value;
}
but this is almost too simple, which probably just means I didn't quite
understand your question.
