I get as a result:
variable_value NULL
variable_id NULL
variable_name NULL
company_name samplecompany

eventhough I have like 3 variables in variable_name

So I would like the following (if variable_value would be empty):
variable_value NULL
variable_id 1
variable_name sampplevar1
company_name samplecompany

variable_value NULL
variable_id 2
variable_name sampplevar2
company_name samplecompany

variable_value NULL
variable_id 3
variable_name sampplevar3
company_name samplecompany

Thx for your help.
