How to fill multidimensional array with loop

Question

I have an array :

$days = array(
    'Sunday',
    'Monday',
    'Tuesday',
    'Wednesday',
    'Thursday',
    'Friday',
    'Saturday'
);

And I have a query witch is getting me the days from the database (day_name,ID); For what I need your help: I want to fill the array with the loop below and make it associative. Example result :

thursday => array(
    'ID' => 1,
    'name' => thursday
),
friday => array(
    'ID' => 1,
    'name' => thursday
),
....eg

My code now:

$query='Query days from database';

foreach($query as $res)
{
    foreach($days as $day)
    {
        if($res == $day)
        {
            // now there I want to put informations
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

In case you can't initialize arrays (Like suggested in @Barmar Answer), you need to look for the array key to override it with an array. Like here :

$days=array('Sunday',
        'Monday',
        'Tuesday',
        'Wednesday',
        'Thursday',
        'Friday',
        'Saturday'
       );
    print_r($days);

//Example
$res[0]['name']="Sunday";
$res[0]['ID']="7";
$res[1]['name']="Monday";
$res[1]['ID']="1";

foreach($res as $k => $v){
$daykey = array_search($res[$k]['name'], $days);
if ($daykey !== false) {
    $days[$daykey]=array($res[$k]['name']=>array('ID'=>$res[$k]['ID'],'name'=>$res[$k]['name']));
} else {
    //do nothing... or whatever
}
} 
print_r($days);
