I Have an array of data which i think is in the correct format and i am trying to pullout each of the categories and their sub headings but nothing is displaying on the page?

here is my code

PHP Code:

 
    <?php
    if($_SESSION['page'] == "entertainment")
    {
        $category_list = array( 
                         "Category" => array("DVD","CD","Video Games","Blu-Ray","Books"),
                            "Sub" => array("The latest blockbuster DVDs.", "Chart hit CDs from the hottest artists.","Top video games from all the major platforms including xbox 360, ps3, nintendo wii","The latest blockbuster Blu-Ray DVDs.","Bestselling hardback, paperback titles from the best authors")
                         );
    }?>

    <div id="category_left">
    <?php
    $x=0;
    foreach($category_list as $category){
    echo $category["Category"][$x];
    echo $category["Sub"][$x];
    $x++;
    }?>
    </div>

any ideas
Thanks
Luke

PHP Code:

 
    if($_SESSION['page'] == "entertainment")
    {
    $category_list = array();
    $category_list[] = array("category"=>"DVD","desc"=>"The latest blockbuster DVDs.");
    $category_list[] = array("category"=>"CD","desc"=>"Chart hit CDs from the hottest artists.");
    $category_list[] = array("category"=>"Video Games","desc"=>"Top video games from all the major platforms including xbox 360, ps3, nintendo wii");
    $category_list[] = array("category"=>"Blu-Ray","desc"=>"The latest blockbuster Blu-Ray DVDs.");
    $category_list[] = array("category"=>"Books","desc"=>"Bestselling hardback, paperback titles from the best authors");
    }?>

    <div id="category_left">
    <?php
    $x=0;
    foreach($category_list as $category){
    echo $category["category"];
    echo "<br />";
    echo $category["desc"];
