UITableCell value not passing to function within UIViewController Swift 3 - ios

Question

I have a table that is populated by a search function. There are two buttons within the cell, a checkmark to say yes to a user and an X to say no. There is an insert function that inserts the selection into the database. Unfortunately the value from the table is not being passed to the insert function. Within the insert function, I'm using guestusername.text which is the name of the label in my cell. I'm getting the error 'Use of unresolved identifier guestusername'. I've tried everything I can think of, code below.
class MyShotsViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
var guest = [AnyObject]()
var avas = [UIImage]()
var valueToPass:String!
var revieweduser:String!
var age = [AnyObject]()
var city = [AnyObject]()
var state = [AnyObject]()
#IBOutlet var tableView: UITableView!
var cell: MyShotsCell?
var index = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
doSearch("")
}
// cell numb
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return guest.count
}
// cell config
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath) as! MyShotsCell
// get one by one user related inf from users var
let guest2 = guest[indexPath.row]
let ava = avas[indexPath.row]
// shortcuts
let guestname = guest2["username"] as? AnyObject
let age = guest2["age"]
let city = guest2["city"] as? String
let state = guest2["state"] as? String
// refer str to cell obj
cell.guestusername.text = guestname as! String
cell.ageLbl.text = (NSString(format: "%#", age as! CVarArg) as String)
cell.cityLbl.text = city
cell.stateLbl.text = state
cell.avaImg.image = ava as? UIImage
return cell
}
// search / retrieve users
public func doSearch(_ guestusername : String) {
// shortcuts
let username = user?["username"] as! String
let url = URL(string: "http://www.xxxxx.com/xxxxx.php")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url) // create request to work with users.php file
