Parse php array to make insert statement - php

Question

Hi I have an array like this:
$datas =
[
'name_1'=>'John',
'name_2' =>'Mickey',
'settings_1' => 'Settings 1',
'settings_2' => 'Settings 2'
]
foreach($datas as $data){
//get items here...
}
How to pair or parse those items to make insert statement like this:
INSERT INTO table (name, settings)VALUES('John','Settings 1');
INSERT INTO table (name, settings)VALUES('Mickey','Settings 2');
Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This code could be usefull for creating array of arrays. Considering array keys will be name_x and settings_x
foreach($datas as $key=>$value){
// explode each key of the array
$keys = explode('_',$key);
$name = 'name_'.$keys[1];
$settings = 'settings_'.$keys[1];
// to generate array
$new_array[$keys[1]]=array('name'=>$datas[$name], 'settings'=>$datas[$settings]);
}
print_r($new_array);
Loop the $new_array for insert query.
Output :
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[name] => John
[settings] => Settings 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[name] => Mickey
[settings] => Settings 2
)
)

$datas =
[
'name_1'=>'John',
'name_2' =>'Mickey',
'settings_1' => 'Settings 1',
'settings_2' => 'Settings 2'
];
$results = [];
foreach($datas as $index=>$data){
//create an array out of $index breaking it at the '_'
//so array will be $parts = [0=>'name', 1=>'1'];
$parts = explode('_', $index);
//'name_1'=>'John' = $results[1]['name'] = 'John';
$results[$parts[1]][$parts[0]] = $data;
}
//batch insert new formed array
//INSERT INTO tbl_name (name, settings) VALUES $results;

Check this, you must do some intermediate steps. Comments on code!!
$datas =
[
'name_1'=>'John',
'name_2' =>'Mickey',
'settings_1' => 'Settings 1',
'settings_2' => 'Settings 2'
];
$data_final = [];
foreach($datas as $key=>$value){
$keyX = preg_replace('/^(.+)_(\d+)$/', '$1', $key);// get the "type" (name, setting)
$keyY = preg_replace('/^(.+)_(\d+)$/', '$2', $key);// get the "index" (_1, _2 without "_")
$data_final[$keyY][$keyX] = $value; // put in result
}
// make queries
$sql = [];
foreach($data_final as $datas){
$fields = implode(", ", array_keys($datas)); //implode the keys to sql fields
$values = implode(", ", array_map(function($a){return "'$a'";}, array_values($datas)));//implode values to sql values adding ''. WARNING: This not escape values. Use escape string function on mysqli obj or PDO to the right escape
$sql[] = "INSERT INTO table ($fields) VALUES ($values);"; // populate query
}
$sql = implode("\n", $sql); // implode with new line
print_r($sql); //results
IMPORTANT:
You must have the right syntax "field_number" to respect the procedure
You can use even with one or more of two fields per record
You can use any field name, always respecting the "field_number" syntax
