RE: [PHP-DB] inserting mysql data using php array???
Interesting.
A bit tiedious, I suppose. Seems like it'd be a bit more overhead than I'd care to
have,
but an interesting technique nonetheless.

Re: [PHP-DB] inserting mysql data using php array???
Actually, there is another way of doing it. The prerequisite for this
method, is that you have an auto_incremented column. If you have that, then
all you have to do is insert a value into one of the columns, then grab
mysql_insert_id, and update all columns, corresponding to that
auto_incremented value. That's what I ended up doing.

RE: [PHP-DB] inserting mysql data using php array???
Very interesting. I didn't know you could use SET with an INSERT. I tried this on MySQL
and it worked. Dunno if it's standard SQL, but it didn't work on MSAccess and MS
SQLServer
(the only other DBs I have at hand to test it with). I wonder what other DBs it works
on,
because you could be painting yourself into a corner if you had to move to another
platform.

RE: [PHP-DB] inserting mysql data using php array???
I actually have an easy way to do INSERTs like this.
First I create the array:
$MyArray["field"] = value;
$MyArray["name"] = "Jonathan";
$MyArray["age"] = 123;
$MyArray["email"] = $email_address;
and then I define this function somewhere in a function library:
function Array2Query($dbArray)
{
foreach($dbArray as $dbField => $dbValue)
{
$dbQuery .= "$dbField='$dbValue',";
}
$dbQuery = substr($dbQuery,0,strlen($dbQuery)-1);
return $dbQuery;
}
and then I just create the query:
$Query = "INSERT INTO table SET " . Array2Query($MyArray);
$Result = mysql_query($Query);
Hope it helps.

INSERT INTO table (first_name,middle_name,last_name,suffix)
VALUES($an_array)
no. that is not possible.
you do actually have to write it out..
INSERT INTO table (first_name,middle_name,last_name,suffix)
VALUES('$name[0]', '$name[1]', '$name[2]', $name[3])
I dont understand why you have these in arrays if they are only simple text
inputs. it'd be much easier to understand your code visually if you had the
name of each field actually descriptive of the content in it. It is also
not valid html to have [ ]'s in the name parameter, I believe.

Subject: [PHP-DB] inserting mysql data using php array???
Hi
I am running Apache 1.3.20 with MySQL 3.23.41, and PHP 4.0.6, on Linux
Mandrake 8.1. I am trying to access a MySQL database from a PHP script. I
have a html form, that takes input in an array (ie. name[0], name[1],
name[2], name[3], these fields represent first_name, middle_initial,
last_name, and suffix in the database). What I would really like to do is,
take this array of data and insert each element in the corresponding column,
in the database. Is it possible to insert each element of the array into
the database, using an array, instead of typing out each value?
