Answer 1

Your code was actually ok, but had a problem in $stmt->bindParam(":$column", value); It should be $stmt->bindValue(":{$column}", $value); and it will work perfectly. This will assist others in future.

Full code:

foreach($params as $row)
{ 
    // now loop through each inner array to match bound values
    foreach($row as $column => $value)
    { 
        $stmt->bindValue(":{$column}", $value); //EDIT
    }
    // Execute statement to add to transaction
    $stmt->execute();
}
