the foreach() structure is a loop and you can't use it to assign to a variable.
Please do read the manual as it really does help you if you re stuck! http://uk.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php What you need to do is arrange the query around the loop itelse, so that the variables are the objects that are in the loop and the things that stay single ("INSERT INTO <table>") *do* stay single. So something like the following: //----start off the query $sql1 = "INSERT INTO <table_name> ("; //----start looping thru the array foreach($array as $key=>$val) { //---declare data to insert (helps if you have the same database fieldnames as array key names!) $sql2 .= "$key,"; //----remove the last auto-generated comma from array key (field) list and add closing bracket $sql3 = substr($sql2,0,-1) . ")"; //----start insertion of values list, wrapping comma's and quotes around $val $sql4 = "VALUES (" . "'" . $val . "'" . ","; //----remove the last auto-generated comma from values list and add closing bracket $sql5 = substr($sql4,0,-1) . ")"; }//----end loop //----build the parts to become a whole query and add the SQL 'WHERE' clause $sql = $sql1 . $sql3 . $sql5 . "WHERE X=Y"; That should do it for ya.
