选择并插入一个查询SQL

Question

I have a web page where a user clicks on a map, the latitute and longitude are passed to text fields, and along with some other details the data is submitted to the database. I have a formula for calculating the nearest town, and I have a little sample table of towns with their latitudes and logitudes.

At the moment I can display the nearest town and distance, but I can't get it to send to the database. I think I need to put the two queries together but I don't know how. Please be kind, I know my code is terrible and I have lots of security issues which I'm going to try to address later. Thank you!

<?php

 $conn    = Connect();

/**
 * Use the Haversine Formula to display the 100 closest matches to $origLat, $origLon
 * Only search the MySQL table $tableName for matches within a 10 mile ($dist) radius.
 */

$origLat = $conn->real_escape_string($_POST['lat']);
$origLon = $conn->real_escape_string($_POST['lng']);

// This is the maximum distance (in miles) away from $origLat, $origLon in which to search
$dist = 50; 

$query = "SELECT Townland, lat, lng, 3956 * 2 * 
          ASIN(SQRT( POWER(SIN(($origLat - lat)*pi()/180/2),2)
          +COS($origLat*pi()/180 )*COS(lat*pi()/180)
          *POWER(SIN(($origLon-lng)*pi()/180/2),2))) 
          as distance FROM townland WHERE 
          lng between ($origLon-$dist/cos(radians($origLat))*69) 
          and ($origLon+$dist/cos(radians($origLat))*69) 
          and lat between ($origLat-($dist/69)) 
          and ($origLat+($dist/69)) 
          having distance < $dist ORDER BY distance limit 1"; 

$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo $row['Townland']." > ".$row['distance']."<BR>";
}


$User_ID = $conn->real_escape_string($_POST['User_ID']);

If you need insert the result from query in a table eg: my_table could be you need an insert select query ( a single sql command composed by two part )

 "INSERT  into my_table (Townland, lat, lng, distance)
 SELECT Townland, lat, lng, 3956 * 2 * 
        ASIN(SQRT( POWER(SIN(($origLat - lat)*pi()/180/2),2)
        +COS($origLat*pi()/180 )*COS(lat*pi()/180)
        *POWER(SIN(($origLon-lng)*pi()/180/2),2))) 
        as distance FROM townland WHERE 
        lng between ($origLon-$dist/cos(radians($origLat))*69) 
        and ($origLon+$dist/cos(radians($origLat))*69) 
        and lat between ($origLat-($dist/69)) 
        and ($origLat+($dist/69)) 
        having distance < $dist ORDER BY distance limit 1";
