Inserting json encoded data into mysql - php

Question

This is a follow up question , earlier i had asked
about inserting json into mysql . I encoded it again and now i want it to be printed back to mysql . I don't know how am i supposed to print the encoded json output as string back into mysql . Folowing is my current code
<?php
$json = array
(
array("pineapple","yellow"),
array("watermelon","red"),
array("orange","orange")
);
var_dump($json);
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
$newelements = json_encode( $json, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE );
echo $newelements;
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$hostname = "localhost";
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
echo "Connected to MySQL<br>";
$selected = mysql_select_db("json",$dbhandle)
or die("Could not select json");
// foreach ($enc as $fruit => $color) {
$db_insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO fruits (fruit,color) VALUES('$fruit','$color')");
mysql_query($db_insert);
if (!$db_insert)
{
die('Could not connect - event insert failed: ' . mysql_error());
}
// }
?>
Any help would be much appreciated .Thanks in advance :)

Because you have an array of arrays, the correct foreach would look like this:
$values = array();
foreach ($newelement as $element) {
$values[] = "('".mysql_real_escape_string($element[0])."','".mysql_real_escape_string($element[1])."')";
}
$db_insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO fruits (fruit,color) VALUES ".implode(",", $values);
