I have an array that I exploded by Regex, here is a part of the array named $data;
array(6) {
[0]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(77) "Achnanthes brevipes C.Agardh, Syst. Alg.: 1 (1824). / Küçük sucıncığı."
}

string(10) "Achnanthes"
}

}
[5]=>
array(1) {

}
and many more..
my regex is:
$turRegex = '/^([^\s]+)[\s]([^\s]+)[\s]([^\s]+)[,][\s]([A-Za-z].+)[\s][\/][\s](.+)[.]/m';
my foreach loop:
foreach ($data as $data) {
if (!empty(preg_match_all($turRegex, $data, $matches))) {
echo "<pre>";
var_dump($matches);
echo "</pre>";
}
}
My table name is "algeaSpecies" and columns are; "id","genusName","speciesEpiteth","author", "publication","TurkishName"
I want to insert this to genusName;
[1]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(10) "Achnanthes"
this to speciesEpiteth;
[2]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(8) "brevipes"
}
and others...
I'm using MySQLi
Thank you

First I noticed you used $data both as array and item in your loop.
In the following code, I assumed that you don't want the first index (the query wasn't clear).
Also, replace the DB connection credentials.
$con = new mysqli('db_host', 'username', 'password', 'db_name');
$boundArray = array_fill(0, 5, null);
$query = "INSERT INTO `algeaSpecies` (`genusName`, `speciesEpiteth`, `author`, `publication`, `TurkishName`) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?);";
$stmt = $con->prepare($query);
$stmt->bind_param("sssss", ...$boundArray);
foreach ($data as $item) {
$i = -1;
foreach ($item as $index) {
if ($i === -1) {
$i++;
continue;
}
$boundArray[$i++] = $index[0];
}
$stmt->execute();
}
$stmt->close();
$con->close();
