The following code works 'as advertised':
<?php
$SES['value']['a'] = 'va';
$SES['value']['b'] = 'vb';
print_r($SES);
?>
to give
Array ( [value] => Array ( [a] => va [b] => vb ) )
It works with $_SESSION too.
Are you operating in a foreach loop? If so this is a Gotcha.
Although not particularly related to this problem but in a similar vein:
Look up "variable variables" in the manual.
// convert $ay['foo'] into $foo
foreach($ay as $key => $val) {$$key = $ay[$key];}
