Codeigniter XML Datafeed to Multiple (MYSQL Tables) - php

Question

goodness.. it's been a quite a headache for me.
I'm trying to get variable SQL1, SQL2 and SQL3 to update different mysql tables.. but how on earth will SQL2 and SQL3's "product_id" fields, correlate with SQL1?
See 'id' in the insert sections in SQL2 and SQL3.. i'm not sure how to replace and grab this generated data into this sections without making more ugly code.
Also, if any of you have any idea how to make this easier, please help a fellow out here.. this looks pretty dirty to me.. surely there are better ways :(
// DB Settings
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "user";
$password = "pass";
$dbname = "db";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
// Load data from XML file
$xml = simplexml_load_file("Datafeed.xml");
// Capture XML Data
foreach($xml->children() as $product) {
// Change stock wording
$stock = $product->stock;
if ($stock == 'yes') {
$stock = 'on';
} else {
$stock = 'off'; }
// Convert XML data and insert into MYSQL
$sql = "INSERT INTO testshop_products (product_id, product_name, product_type, product_price, product_status) VALUES ("echo $product->code;", "echo $product->cat;", "echo $product->price;","echo $stock;")";
$sql2 = "INSERT INTO testshop_product_details (product_id, product_color, product_image, details_status) VALUES ('id', "Generating...", "echo $product->img;","echo $stock;")";
$sql3 = "INSERT INTO testshop_spesifications (product_id, specs_meta, specs_details, specs_slug, specs_status) VALUES ('id', General, "echo $product->img;", general, "echo $stock;")";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();
if ($conn->query($sql2) === TRUE) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();
if ($conn->query($sql3) === TRUE) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();
}

write store procedure and inset all records and all table it will find.
store procedure like this
CREATE PROCEDURE `addJobApplicant`(IN XMLINPUT
text, OUT vresult VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
DECLARE iCounter INT DEFAULT 1;
DECLARE maxCount INT;
SET vcompID=ExtractValue(XMLINPUT, '/ROOT/HEADER/COMPANYID[$iCounter]');
SET vjpID=ExtractValue(XMLINPUT, '/ROOT/HEADER/JOBID[$iCounter]');
insert command here
SET vresult = 'Successfully Inserted';
end
