Insert Multiple rows from loop query - php

Question

I'm trying to get a list of customers from a table and then append data onto them each day. I can't figure out how to insert into the database multiple rows with the same name
I have 3 tables: Companies, jobs, reports. I'm doing a 2 loops to get the companies and jobs data from the tables into a form which is added to each day which will go into the repots table. I've tried doing it as an array and doing it in a while loop, foreach loop but each time hasn't worked. I'm going wrong somewhere i just dont know where
$companyquery = "SELECT * FROM companiestest WHERE (enabled != 'true') ORDER BY name";
$companies = $mysqli->query($companyquery);
while($company = $companies->fetch_assoc()) {
$cid = htmlspecialchars($company['id']);
$companyname = htmlspecialchars($company['name']);
echo "<tr>";
$jobquery = "SELECT * FROM jobstest WHERE (cid = " . $company['id'] . ") AND (enabled != 'true') ORDER BY jobname";
$jobs = $mysqli->query($jobquery);
while($job = $jobs->fetch_assoc()) {
$bid = htmlspecialchars($job['id']);
$product = htmlspecialchars($job['product']);
$server = htmlspecialchars($job['server']);
$medium = htmlspecialchars($job['medium']);
$jobname = htmlspecialchars($job['jobname']);
echo "<input type='hidden' name='backupid' value='$bid''>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='companyname' value='$companyname''>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='companyid' value='$cid'>";
echo "<td>$companyname - $cid</td>";
echo "<td>$product</td>";
echo "<td>$server</td>";
echo "<td>$medium</td>";
echo "<td>$jobname</td>";
echo "<td><select name='result' required>
<option disabled selected value>Result</option>
<option value='success'>Successful</option>
<option value='warn'>Warning</option>
<option value='fail'>Fail</option>
</select></td>";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='ticket' placeholder='Ticket Number'></td>";
echo "</tr>";
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$companyname = strip_tags(trim($_POST['companyname']));
$date = strip_tags(trim($_POST['date']));
$staffmember = strip_tags(trim($_POST['staff']));
$result = strip_tags(trim($_POST['result']));
$ticket = strip_tags(trim($_POST['ticket']));
$companyid = strip_tags(trim($_POST['companyid']));
$jobid = strip_tags(trim($_POST['jobid']));
$array = array();
array_push($array, $companyname, $date, $staffmember, $result, $ticket, $companyid, $jobid);
//$array = "('$companyname', '$date', '$staffmember', '$result', '$ticket', '$companyid')";
print_r($array);
$query = "INSERT INTO reporttest (company, date, staff, result, ticketnum, cid, bid) VALUES ($companyname, $date, $staffmember, $result, $ticket, $companyid, $jobid)";
//echo "$query";
}

Answer 1

The answer is a foreach loop with a key increment which inserts each variable into its own array. Then a foreach on the array to bind and execute into the database. Still a lot of modification to do with the data and restricting columns in the queries but so far it seems to be working without an issue.
No doubt there's a better way to do it but nobody has suggested anything to help as yet
$companyquery = "SELECT * FROM companiestest WHERE (enabled != 'true') ORDER BY name";
$companies = $mysqli->query($companyquery);
while($company = $companies->fetch_assoc()) {
$cid = htmlspecialchars($company['id']);
$companyname = htmlspecialchars($company['name']);
echo "<tr>";
$backupjobquery = "SELECT * FROM backupjobstest WHERE (cid = " . $company['id'] . ") AND (enabled != 'true') ORDER BY jobname";
$backupjobs = $mysqli->query($backupjobquery);
foreach($backupjobs as $key => $backupjob){
$key++;
$bid = htmlspecialchars($backupjob['id']);
$product = htmlspecialchars($backupjob['product']);
$server = htmlspecialchars($backupjob['server']);
$medium = htmlspecialchars($backupjob['medium']);
$jobname = htmlspecialchars($backupjob['jobname']);
echo "<input type='hidden' name='backupid[]' value='$bid'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='companyid[]' value='$cid'>";
echo "<td>$companyname - $cid</td>";
echo "<td>$product</td>";
echo "<td>$server</td>";
echo "<td>$medium</td>";
echo "<td>$jobname</td>";
echo "<td><select name='result[]' required>
<option disabled selected value>Result</option>
<option value='Successful'>Successful</option>
<option value='Warning'>Warning</option>
<option value='Failure'>Failure</option>
</select></td>";
echo "<td><input type='number' name='ticketnum[]' placeholder='Ticket Number'></td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
}
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$results = array();
$ticketnums = array();
$cids = array();
$bids = array();
$date = strip_tags(trim($_POST['date']));
$staffmember = strip_tags(trim($_POST['staff']));
foreach ($_POST['result'] as $key => $result) {

}
$sql = "INSERT INTO reporttest (date, staff, result, ticketnum, cid, bid) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql);
if ( !$stmt ) { die('prepare failed'); }
$stmt->bind_param("sssiii", $date, $staffmember, $result, $ticketnum, $cid, $bid);

if ($stmt->execute()) {

}
$stmt->fetch();
printf("Date: %s, Staff: %s, result: %s, Ticket: %s, cid: %s, bid: %s", $date, $staffmember, $result, $ticketnum, $cid, $bid);
echo "<br>";
}
$stmt->close();
