temporary table and foreach - php

Question

$date['"01.06.2012"'] = '2012-06-01';
$date['"01.05.2012"'] = '2012-05-01';
$date['"01.04.2012"'] = '2012-04-01';
$date['"01.03.2012"'] = '2012-03-01';
$date['"01.02.2012"'] = '2012-02-01';
$date['"01.01.2012"'] = '2012-01-01';
foreach($date as $month => $actual_date)
{ /* start foreach loop */
$query = "select Player, SUM(points) AS score from rankings WHERE
`drop_date` > '$actual_date'
AND `drop_date` <= DATE_ADD('$actual_date', INTERVAL 1 YEAR)
GROUP BY Player
ORDER BY SUM(sa_points) LIMIT 0,5";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $row['player'];
echo $row['score']; }
} /* end foreach loop */
Now I just want add another query to this resulting table, I have tried create temporary table but didnt know where to put it according to the foreach loop and kept getting either parse errors or last $actual_date results.

Is this what you are trying to reach?
$date['"01.06.2012"'] = '2012-06-01';
$date['"01.05.2012"'] = '2012-05-01';
$date['"01.04.2012"'] = '2012-04-01';
$date['"01.03.2012"'] = '2012-03-01';
$date['"01.02.2012"'] = '2012-02-01';
$date['"01.01.2012"'] = '2012-01-01';
mysql_query('CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE results (player varchar(100), score int)');
foreach($date as $month => $actual_date)
{ /* start foreach loop */
$query = "insert into results (player, score)
select Player, SUM(points) AS score from rankings WHERE
`drop_date` > '$actual_date'
AND `drop_date` <= DATE_ADD('$actual_date', INTERVAL 1 YEAR)
GROUP BY Player
ORDER BY SUM(sa_points) LIMIT 0,5";
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
} /* end foreach loop */
$result = mysql_query('select * from results') or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $row['player'];
echo $row['score'];
}
