Create 2d array by merging a static header row and a query result set with indexed row elements

I want to change array formatting in php but i'm getting error.

I want output like this

[
  ['Year', 'Sales', 'Expenses', 'Profit'],
  ['2014', 1000, 400, 200],
  ['2015', 1170, 460, 250],
  ['2016', 660, 1120, 300],
  ['2017', 1030, 540, 350]
]

php code

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT `year`, `sales`,`expenses`,`profit` 
              FROM chart 
              ORDER BY `year` ASC");

$data = array('Year','Sales','Expenses','Profit');

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
   $data[] = array($row['year'], $row['sales'], $row['expenses'], 
   $row['profit']);
}

echo json_encode($data);

Output

["Year","Sales","Expenses","Profit",
["2012","20000","15000","5000"],
["2013","30000","18000","12000"],
["2014","100000","60000","40000"],
["2015","250000","150000","100000"],
["2016","15000","12000","3000"]
]

Change

$data = array('Year','Sales','Expenses','Profit');

To

$data[] = array('Year','Sales','Expenses','Profit');
