$r['name'] will be a string -- and so, therefore, will $level2[$i] be.

$level2[$i] is still a string, and the [] notation when applied to a string
selects an individual character -- but you haven't specified which
character, so this is an error.
Did you mean the first assignment to $level2[$i] to start a new array that
you later add to in the loop? In which case you might want to do
$level2[$i] = array($r['name']);
If you meant something else, you probably need to tell us exactly what it is
you're trying to do, so we can suggest accurate solutions.
Cheers!
Mike
