PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser array to database - php

Question

So the problem is, when uploading to mysql the database is only uploading the last value in the array.
if (substr($avsnitt["serier"], 0, 16) === 'http://random'){
// Create DOM from URL or file
$html = file_get_html($avsnitt["serier"]);
$array_title = array();
$array_link = array();
foreach($html->find('div[class=entry]') as $element){
foreach ($element->find('a') as $text) {
$array_title[] = $text->plaintext;
}
foreach ($element->find('a') as $test) {
$array_link[] = $test->href;
}
$count_name = count($array_title);
for($i=0; $i<$count_name; $i++){
$_array_title = mysql_escape_string($array_title[$i]);
$_array_link = mysql_escape_string($array_link [$i]);
print_r($_array_title);
print_r($_array_link);
$sql2 = "INSERT INTO episodes (name, ID, link) VALUES ('" . #$_array_title. "','" . #$avsnitt["ID"] . "', '" . #$_array_link . "');";
mysqli_query($CON, $sql2);
}
}
}
i'm new to php mysql so i dont relly know how arrays is uploaded to mysql, fast answers will be appreciated thanks.

Answer 1

I think, your database-field "link" is type string.
You want to insert your variable $_array_link, witch is type array.
So try serialize($_array_link) to "convert" array to string.
I think, the # are not nessessary, without it is better to read.
$sql2 = "INSERT INTO episodes (name, ID, link)
VALUES ('" . #$_array_title. "','" . #$avsnitt["ID"] . "', '" . serialize($_array_link). "');";
Later, you want to use the variable from the database. So after you SELECT your data, use unserialize() to get the array back.

Answer 2

problem was the database ID was primery key only allowing one withe a specific ID
