Na just go to php.net and do a search.
Look up -

foreach()

There are examples to learn from php.net and other users there.
May not be a copy and paste job, you'll most likely want to adopt  
things to your
situation, but the fundamentals are all there. Best way/place to learn  
IMO.

Then I would go and google MySQL INSERT or what ever SQL Lang your  
using.
Again, I would go to the php.net link that pops up. :)
Those two things should get you on track for what it looks like your  
trying to do.

if your not there after those two things, look up
array() php

and so on...

..but your not far off with what you have, you just need to swap a  
$var = with the echo text looks like.
Then use $var in your INSERT statement like so. $sql = "INSERT   ....  
(var, ... )  Value( '".mysql_real_escape_string($var)."', .... )";
The single quotes are only needed for strings too. For variables that  
are integers (numbers), you don't need them.

You may also want to go ahead and look into how to set up your mysql- 
 >php scripts with mysqli as well. Like using  
mysqli_real_escape_string() instead.
I think mysql_ is getting depreciated. Instead of learning one way and  
then finding out you have to migrate later. :-/

Please correct me if I am wrong anyone.

HTH,

Best,
