foreach() only saving last value to result array

I have a $_POST array that looks like this

Array
(
    [0] => ed
    [1] => smith.co.uk
    [2] => http://edsmith.co.uk/smith.jpg
    [3] => Published
    [4] => ford attenborough
    [5] => ford.co.uk
    [6] => http://fordattenborough.co.uk/ford.jpg
    [7] => Pending Approval
    [8] => greg tolkenworth
    [9] => greg.co.uk
    [10] => http://greg.co.uk/greg.jpg
    [11] => In Future
)

I have an array that looks like this

"unique_id()" => array(
     "partner_name" => array(
         "id" => $shortname."_partner_name",
         "name" => "the_partner_name",
         "desc" => "The partner's name",
         "type" => "text",
         "value" => "",
         "placeholder" => "partner name",
     ),
    "partner_url" => array(
         "id" => $shortname."_partner_url",
         "name" => "the_partner_url",
         "desc" => "Url of the partner",
         "type" => "text",
         "value" => "",
         "placeholder" => "partner url",
     ),
     "partner_logo" => array(
         "id" => $shortname."_partner_logo",
         "name" => "the_partner_logo",
         "desc" => "Logo of the partner",
         "type" => "text",
         "value" => "",
         "placeholder" => "partner logo",
     ),
     "partner_status" => array(
         "id" => $shortname."_partner_status",
         "name" => "the_partner_status",
         "desc" => "The status of the partner",
         "type" => "select",
         "options" => array("Select Option","Publish", "Pending Approval", "In Future"),
         "std" => "Select Option",
     )),

The posted array is held by this variable $posted['partner_crud'] and i am trying using foreach

$u = uniqid();

foreach($posted['partner_crud'] as $key => $value){

$add_this_array = array($u => array(
         "partner_name" => array(
             "id" => $shortname."_partner_name",
             "name" => "the_partner_name",
             "desc" => "The partner's name",
             "type" => "text",
             "value" => $value,
             "placeholder" => "partner name",
         ),
        "partner_url" => array(
             "id" => $shortname."_partner_url",
             "name" => "the_partner_url",
             "desc" => "Url of the partner",
             "type" => "text",
             "value" => $value,
             "placeholder" => "partner url",
         ),
         "partner_logo" => array(
             "id" => $shortname."_partner_logo",
             "name" => "the_partner_logo",
             "desc" => "Logo of the partner",
             "type" => "text",
             "value" => $value,
             "placeholder" => "partner logo",
         ),
         "partner_status" => array(
             "id" => $shortname."_partner_status",
             "name" => "the_partner_status",
             "desc" => "The status of the partner",
             "type" => "select",
             "value" => $value,
             "options" => array("Select Option","Publish", "Pending Approval", "In Future"),
             "std" => "Select Option",
         )));
         }

to generate four arrays in the format as i have shown above.The problem is i am only able to produce an array with only the first value.How can i produce all the four arrays?.

It is very unusual to have post data like that. It makes something easy hard.

If thats what you have however, you can try something like this:

if (!is_int(count($posted['partner_crud']) / 4))
    throw new Exception("Invalid Post data");

$result = array();
foreach($posted['partner_crud'] as $key=>$array) {
   $dataset = floor($key / 4);
   $infoType = $key % 4;
   switch ($infoType) {
       case 0: 
           $result[$dataset]['partner_name'] = array(
                'id'=> ...
                'value'=>$value,
            );
            break;
       case 1: 
           $result[$dataset]['partner_url'] = array(
                'id'=> ...
                'value'=>$value,
            );
            break;
        case 2:
             ....
        case 3:
              ....
   }
}

return array($uid=>$result);

You should make really sure that your post data has the right format however, and nothing gets out of order.
