Doesn't the array list[] get overwritten by using it twice?

In the video, the list "$list[]" has been used twice, so doesn't the array get overwritten by declaring the same name twice with different values?

Thank you sir

By using $list[] she is adding another element in the array $list. With empty brackets a new element is added to the array.

She actually explained what empty brackets does in another video. Check this https://teamtreehouse.com/library/adding-array-elements
