Embedded loops are OK, actually I don't know a language where you can't do it :)
I think that your problem is the $shows array creation, you do this:
> $shows = array();
>
> $shows['show_01'] = $show_01;
> $show_01 = array();
Note that you are assigning $show_01 to a key in $shows before
creating $show_01, you should first create and fill $show_01 and then
assign it to a key in $shows.
Hope that helps.
