PHP multi dimensional array not working as intended

I want to create this response

'Points' => array(
    'Point' => array(
                    array(
                          'Type' => 'value',
                          'Zone'   => 'value
                    ),
                    array(
                          'Type' => 'value',
                          'Zone'   => 'value'
                    )
              )  
    )

My code gives me this:

array:1 [▼
  "Points" => array:1 [▼
    "Point" => array:2 [▼
      "Type" => 4
      "Zone" => "Front"
    ]
  ]
]

Which is very close, unfortunately de Points key is being overwritten anyone knows what I am doing wrong?

$pointsObject = array();
foreach ($points as $point) {
    $pointsObject['Points']['Point'] = array(
        'Type'  => $point->type,
        'Zone'  => $point->zone
    );
}

dd($pointsObject);

You are overwriting the value of $pointsObject['Points']['Point'] in every loop. For to avoid overwrite its value you should add [] at the end. Example:

$pointsObject['Points']['Point'][] = array(...);

That push new values into the array in every loop.

Try like this

Just add [] after ['Points']['Point']

$pointsObject = array();
foreach ($points as $point) {
    $pointsObject['Points']['Point'][] = array(
        'Type'  => $point->type,
        'Zone'  => $point->zone
    );
}

dd($pointsObject);
