You ask how to assign TWO dimensional array, but you assign single arrays in your code!
To assign two dims array:
$arr = array ( { "one","two","three" } , { "abc", "def", "ghi" } );
To access: $x = $arr [1] [2] ;
-> $x = "ghi";
Look at www.php.net, array functions: there has been some changes since version 5.
