Convert array to another array - php

Question

I have one array that I am showing like this:
echo '<table>';
foreach ($rowData as $row => $tr) {
echo '<tr>';
foreach ($tr as $td)
echo '<td>' . $td .'</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
The second and fourth columns are always the name of the column. The result is something like:
Name: John Locke - NickName: Locke
Age: 20 - Adress: Ok
See the pattern?
How can I put these array in my database?
As my database table structure is:
ID - Name - NickName - Age - Adress
I don't have a clue how to do that with the array i'm using..
--UPDATE
$table = $html->find('table', 0);
$rowData = array();
foreach($table->find('tr') as $row) {
// initialize array to store the cell data from each row
$flight = array();
foreach($row->find('td') as $cell) {
foreach($cell->find('span') as $e){
$e->innertext = '';
}
// push the cell's text to the array
$flight[] = $cell->plaintext;
}
$rowData[] = $flight;
}
echo '<table>';
foreach ($rowData as $row => $tr) {
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>' . $row . '</td>';
foreach ($tr as $td)
echo '<td>' . $td .'</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';

Answer 1

you can do that:
$insert = "";
foreach ($rowData as $row => $tr) {
$insert .= "('".$tr[0]."','".$tr[0]."','".$tr[0]."','".$tr[0]."'),";
}
$insert = substr($insert, 0, -1)
$sql = "Insert into YourTable values ".$insert;

Answer 2

As you already know what the array positions relate to, IE positions 0 through 3. You can simply iterate as you are doing now and compile a query instead.
Just drop this snippet into your code, ive knocked this up on the fly and its a bit hackish, probably a better way. Just look at what it does on your screen and see where if any it needs correcting.
$insert = '';
for ($i=0; $i<=3; $i++):
$insert .= "'" . $tr[$i] . "'";
if ($i !== 3):
$insert .= ',';
endif;
endfor;
echo $insert;
Once you are seeing what looks like a correct insert then you can (using safe methods) insert it into your database.
