Issue with mysql loop - php

Question

Intuit integration.
With create invoice. I am needing to get items from a loop when I create the invoice.
I also tried by creating the loop first and using $items in the invoice create but also get an error. "Format Error. Expect an element of an array or an object."
Not liking my loop. How can I accomplish this
?
$theResourceObj = Invoice::create([
"TotalAmt" => 200.00,
"Line" => [
$queryitems = 'SELECT * FROM mydatabse',
$query_items = mysqli_query($con,$queryitems),
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query_items)) {
[
"Description"=> "Loop Description",
"DetailType"=> "SalesItemLineDetail",
"SalesItemLineDetail"=> [
"TaxCodeRef"=> [
"value"=> "TAX"
],
"Qty"=> 1,
"UnitPrice"=> 200,
"ItemRef"=> [
"name"=> "Loop Name",
"value"=> "5"
]
],
"LineNum"=> 1,
"Amount"=> 200.00,
"Id"=> "1"
],
}
],
"CustomerRef"=> [
"value"=> 1
],
"BillEmail" => [
"Address" => "email#somewhere.com"
]
]);

You can't put loops inside array literals.
Construct the array incrementally outside the call to Invoice::create().
$invoice = [
"TotalAmt" => 200.00,
"CustomerRef"=> [
"value"=> 1
],
"BillEmail" => [
"Address" => "email#somewhere.com"
]
];
$lines = [];
$queryitems = 'SELECT * FROM mydatabse';
$query_items = mysqli_query($con,$queryitems);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query_items)) {
$lines[] = [
"Description"=> "Loop Description",
"DetailType"=> "SalesItemLineDetail",
"SalesItemLineDetail"=> [
"TaxCodeRef"=> [
"value"=> "TAX"
],
"Qty"=> 1,
"UnitPrice"=> 200,
"ItemRef"=> [
"name"=> "Loop Name",
"value"=> "5"
]
],
"LineNum"=> 1,
"Amount"=> 200.00,
"Id"=> "1"
];
}
$invoice['Line'] = $lines;
$theResourceObj = Invoice::create($invoice);
