I have the following query:
$query = UserSubject::where('user_id', Auth::id())->select('subject_id')->get();
and as expected I get the following result:
[{"user_id":8,"subject_id":9},{"user_id":8,"subject_id":2}]
Is there a way of copying the above result into another table so that my table looks like this?
ID|user_id|subject_id 1 |8 |9 2 |8 |2
The problem I have is that the $query
can expect any number of rows and so im unsure how to iterate through an unknown number of rows.

It is really easy to do a bulk insert in Laravel using Eloquent or the query builder.
You can use the following approach.
$data = [ ['user_id'=>'Coder 1', 'subject_id'=> 4096], ['user_id'=>'Coder 2', 'subject_id'=> 2048], //... ]; Model::insert($data); // Eloquent approach DB::table('table')->insert($data); // Query Builder approach
In your case you already have the data within the $query
variable.
