Well please help to correct syntax fo the following code. I have to select 2 values from one table and insert them in another table. one value is taking from PHP variable.this all needs to be done using Opencart model file
$this->db->query("UPDATE " . DB_PREFIX . "rate_cost SET rate_cost = " . $this->db->escape($data['rate_cost']) );
$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT competition_rate, customer_id FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "customer WHERE competition_rate NOT LIKE 0";
$query = $this->db->query($sql);
$rates = array();
$customer_ids = array();
foreach($query->row['competition_rate'] as $result){
$rates[] = $result * $data['name'];
}
foreach($query->row['customer_id'] as $result2){
$customer_ids[] = $result2;
}
$sums = $rates;
$ids = $customer_ids;;
$sql = ("INSERT INTO 'customer_transaction'(customer_id,amount) VALUES'".$ids.",".$sums"'");
}
I am getting the folowing error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"'"' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in C:\xampp\htdocs\sport\admin\model\competition\newsletter.php on line 18

You have some syntax errors in your $sql query, the correct syntax for INSERT query is
INSERT INTO table (columns) VALUES ('values');
So youre missing paranthesis for your values and you dind't surround correctly with quotes. So change as follow
VALUES ('".$ids."','".$sums"')");
So the complete query will look like that
("INSERT INTO 'customer_transaction'(customer_id,amount) VALUES ('".$ids."','".$sums"')");
