Answer 1

This snippet should do what you want:
if (isset($v['image_url'])) {
$v['image_url'] = 'http://www.xxxxxx.com/' . $v['image_url'];
}
You can concatenate strings with the dot "."!

Answer 2

At first... Is your application protected against SQL injection? If not you should build two methods/functions like this using mysql_real_escape_string():
function sqlSafeKey( $key){
return '`' . mysql_real_escape_string( $key) . `'`;
}
function sqlSafeValue( $value){
return "'" . mysql_real_escape_string( $value) . "'";
}
And than use array_map() to escape your values like this:
$keys = array_map( 'sqlSafeKey', array_keys( $v));
$values = array_map( 'sqlSafeValue', $v);
About your question... The matzino's answer is correct and whole loop should look like this:
function putTest($t) {
//$c = connect();
foreach ($t as $k => $v) {
$v['image_url'] = 'http://www.xxxxxx.com/' . $v['image_url'];
$keys = array_map( 'sqlSafeKey', array_keys( $v));
$values = array_map( 'sqlSafeValue', $v);
$query = "INSERT INTO test (".implode(',', $keys).
") VALUES ('".implode("','",$values)."')";
//echo "<pre>";
// echo $query;
$r = mysql_query($query);
}
//mysql_close($c);
}
