Issues with PHP for loop entering names into database - php

Question

I am using the following code to enter submitted names into the database. The code, when working correctly, should capture the names and other information submitted in the form and create three unique entries in the database. This is not happening. Instead the code is capturing the last name in the three pack and entering its information into the database. You can view the form here beta website. The payment processing script is disabled on the form. What do I need to change in the for loop code to fix this issue? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you. I have added all of the code that is used in the script below. Hopefully this will give you a better understanding of what is going on in the script.

Answer 1

for($i = 0; $i < $data->tickets; $i++)

Answer 2

I have figured out the issues with the for loop. The fiftytickets code needed to be moved above the for loop and the $table->store() function needed to be moved into the for loop and placed after the $table->id line. Now when a ticket or tickets are purchased, three entries with the same name or unique names are inserted into the database.
