How to insert arrays into mysql using php - php

Question

I am scraping data and then turning the data into arrays that output as follows:
array(8) {
[0]=> array(8) {
[1]=> string(1) "1"
[2]=> string(8) "Henricho"
[3]=> string(10) "Bruintjies"
[4]=> string(2) "23"
[5]=> string(3) "Agn"
[6]=> string(6) "10.17A"
[7]=> string(4) "-0.2"
[8]=> string(1) "8" }
[1]=> array(8) {
[1]=> string(1) "2"
[2]=> string(5) "Akani"
[3]=> string(7) "Simbine"
[4]=> string(2) "23"
[5]=> string(3) "Agn"
[6]=> string(6) "10.21A"
[7]=> string(4) "-0.2"
[8]=> string(1) "7" }
It is displayed by using var_dump($results);
Is there a simple way to input the data into a sql table using $results?

Answer 1

You need to you something like:
foreach ($results as $value){
$allValues = implode('", "', $value);
//the above line will give us something like ("1", "Henricho"....etc)
$query ='Insert into(col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6, col7, col8)
Values("'.$allValues.'")';
//You can now execute your query
echo $query."<BR />";
}

Answer 2

The data you used var_dump on to give the above result in my guess would be:
$result = array(
array("1","Henricho","Bruintjies","23","Agn","10.17A","-0.2","8"),
array("2","Akani" , "Simbine" ,"23" ,"Agn", "10.21A","-0.2","7" )
);
lets assume the fields you want to insert data to are id, firstname, lastname, age, anotherfield,anotherfield,anotherfield,anotherfield
foreach ($result AS $innerArray){
// In above $result, each $innerArray is an indexed array
$sqlQuery = 'INSERT INTO `tablename` (`id`, `firstname`, `lastname`, `age`, `anotherfield`, `anotherfield`, `anotherfield`, `anotherfield`) VALUES('.implode(",", $innerArray).')';
// You can now execute your sql query depending on the mysql adapter you are using.
}
