What is the correct way to define this kind of JSON object in PHP

```
{
"label": "Europe (EU27)",
"data": [[1999, 3.0], [2000, 3.9], [2001, 2.0], [2002, 1.2], [2003, 1.3], [2004, 2.5], [2005, 2.0], [2006, 3.1], [2007, 2.9], [2008, 0.9]]
}

```

I need to create a nested array that will be converted to JSON object via `json_encode()`.
