I need a way to check a database if a word is in it already if so then it doesn't have to be pushed to the database if the word isn't in it yet then it has to be pushed into it.
It's a MYSQL database and I have to do it in PHP this is what I got so far.
$result = array_count_values(explode(" ", $filter));
arsort($result);
foreach ($result as $word => $frequency)
{
if (!in_array($word, [" ", ""]))
query("words", "INSERT INTO Woord (woord) VALUE (?)",[$word], false);
}
query("words" "SELECT WHERE")
You have 2 options:
REPLACE
REPLACE INTO table
SET column = 'example'
This will overwrite if the record exists and if not it will create it.
INSERT IGNORE
INSERT IGNORE INTO table
SET column = 'example'
This will ignore the query if already exists and if not it will create it.
Your php query should look like this:
"INSERT IGNORE INTO ID142118_ascii.Woord (woord) VALUES (".$word.")"
put a unique constraint on the column "woord" in the table.
Then you can let your php script insert as many duplicate words as you want to, it will simply fail.
you could either add a part "ignore duplicate" in your query or just ignore the error you will get.
I thinks that will be easiest to do.
edit:
btw I can think of a lot of words containing serveral of the character you are stripping: "foto's", "zee-eend" etc
--
how to make a unique index:
ALTER TABLE asciiwoorden
ADD UNIQUE INDEX somename (Woord);

Hi everybody and sorry for my english.
I have the column "example" that is a SET type.
I have to make a php page where you can add values to that column.
First of all I need to know what is just in "example", to prevent the adding of an existing value by a control. Second of all I need to add the new value.
Here's what I had thinked to do.
//I just made the connection to the db in PDO or MySQLi
$newValue=$_POST['value']; //I take the value to add in the possible values from a form
//Now I have to "extract" all the possible values. Can't think how.
//I think I can store the values into an array
$result=$sql->fetch(); //$sql is the query to extract all the possible values from "example"
//So now i can do a control with a foreach
foreach($result as $control){
if ($newValue == $control){
//error message, break the foreach loop
}
}
//Now, if the code arrives here there isn't erros, so the "$newValue" is different from any other values stored in "example", so I need to add it as a possible value
$sql=$conn->query("ALTER TABLE 'TableName' CHANGE 'example' 'example' SET('$result', '$newValue')"); //<- where $result is the all existing possible values of "example"
In PDO or MySQLi, it's indifferent
Thanks for the help
We can get the column definition with a query from information_schema.columns
Assuming the table is in the current database (and assuming we are cognizant of lower_case_table_names setting in choosing to use mixed case for table names)
SELECT c.column_type
FROM information_schema.columns c
WHERE c.table_schema = DATABASE()
WHERE c.table_name = 'TableName'
AND c.column_name = 'example'
Beware of the limit on the number of elements allowed in a SET definition.
Remove the closing paren from the end, and append ',newval').
Personally, I don't much care for the idea of running an ALTER TABLE as part of the application code. Doing that is going to do an implicit commit in a transaction, and also require an exclusive table / metadata lock while the operation is performed.
If you need a SET type - you should know what values you add. Otherwise, simply use VARCHAR type.
DELETE FROM RelationsAuthors WHERE MainId = :MainId AND AuthorId NOT IN (:authorarray)
The above code will delete anything that is not in authorarry and where MainId equals a specific value.
After the deletion I would like to insert the values of authoarray into the database if they do not exist without getting any errors.
*with using foreach $_POST['AuthorId']:
INSERT INTO RelationsAuthors (Id,MainId,AuthorId) VALUES('',:MainId,:AuthorId)
However I would like to add to my code that I need to INSERT only WHERE (MainId = :MainId AND AuthorId = :AuthorID) does not exist. How can I do that?
First, create a unique index on the two fields so the database will prevent duplicates for you:
create unique index idx_RelationsAuthors_MainId_AuthorId on RelationsAuthors(MainId, AuthorId);
Then the insert will fail with an error if you have duplicates. You can have this error ignored in a few ways. My preferred way is:
INSERT INTO RelationsAuthors (MainId, AuthorId)
VALUES(:MainId, :AuthorId)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE MainId = VALUES(MainId);
This will specifically ignore duplicate key errors, but other problems will still generate an error (if appropriate). Note I removed the first column. I'm guessing from the syntax that it is an auto-incremented id, so you don't need to include it in the insert statement at all.
I'm working on a mailbox system for a game on Facebook. I have 2 inputs to a php script, with example input below:
$FriendIDs = "10000001,10002421,10132000,10074794,13523543"
$MailCode = "ReqGem"
and a table with the columns ID, Mailbox.
What I want to be able to do is concatenate whatever was originally in the Mailbox field, with MailCode, for each person in the FriendIDs.
I figured it was something like this, but I couldn't get it to work (my php/sql knowledge is pretty dire!):
mysqli_query($db, "UPDATE Save SET Mailbox = CONCAT(Mailbox,'$MailCode' . '_') WHERE 'id' IN $FriendIDs);
EDIT: I've just realized I need to add a new row if the FriendID isn't already in the table.
I'm guessing I need to start out with INSERT INTO and then use ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, but I can't seem to get it to work. It's a bit trickier since the unique key is in an array, and I can't use WHERE id IN(ArrayOfValues) in an INSERT query.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You're close:
$FriendIDs = "10000001,10002421,10132000,10074794,13523543";
$MailCode = "ReqGem";
mysqli_query($db, "UPDATE Save SET Mailbox = CONCAT(Mailbox,'$MailCode' . '_') WHERE `id` IN($FriendIDs));
You just needed the parenthesis for IN() as it is a function.
Don't use single quotes for column names. Use ticks. Single quotes are for strings.
I currently have the following update statement but is there anyway that I can make it retain the current values but insert and new values that are not in the db?
If not what would be the best way to achieve this?
UPDATE INTO {refocus_candidate_category} SET canid=?, categoryid=? WHERE canid=? AND categoryid=?",array($emailCheck['id'], $id, $emailCheck['id'], $id));
Function:
$catParams = array_merge(array($emailCheck['id']), $fields['Occupation']);
$catPlaceholders = '?'.str_repeat(',?',count($fields['Occupation'])-1);
$catCheck = CMS::selectQuery("SELECT * FROM {table} WHERE canid=? AND categoryid IN (".$catPlaceholders.")", $catParams);
if($catCheck != FALSE)
{
for($i=0; $i<count($fields['Occupation']); $i++) {
$id = $fields['Occupation'][$i];
CMS::updateQuery("UPDATE INTO {table} SET canid=?, categoryid=? WHERE canid=? AND categoryid=?",array($emailCheck['id'], $id, $emailCheck['id'], $id));
}
echo 'found update';
}
ID Print
$fields['Occupation'][$i] = 1678
It's not clear to me from your question precisely what you mean, but there are a number of alternatives for inserts/updates that deal with missing or already present values.
Firstly, if you just want to insert into mysql and have it either create a new row or replace an existing row (where existing is determined by the primary key matching) use REPLACE INTO instead of INSERT INTO. REPLACE INTO tries an insert, but if the primary key already exists, it turns the query into a DELETE and then retries the INSERT.
If you want to insert a new row but leave an existing row alone if you've already got one, you can either use INSERT IGNORE INTO (which may also fail to insert if you've got your data types or column info wrong...) or INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE which allows you to do much finer grained control of how you handle inserts of items that already exist.
There's other options as well, but those are probably the most relevant.
So I have an import/export module for OpenCart, but it's wiping the entire product option table before inserting new data...
I need to develop support for the 3rd party product options module I have, but in the meantime--I figure I'd just stop it from deleting an important column in my product options table.
In the product_option_value table, I have 'product_option,' 'product_id,' 'quantity' etc., and there's one column named 'info' that I want to NOT wipe. The method is below:
function storeOptionsIntoDatabase( &$database, &$options )
{
// find the default language id
$languageId = $this->getDefaultLanguageId($database);
// start transaction, remove options
$sql = "START TRANSACTION;\n";
$sql .= "DELETE FROM `".DB_PREFIX."product_option`;\n";
$sql .= "DELETE FROM `".DB_PREFIX."product_option_description` WHERE language_id=$languageId;\n";
$sql .= "DELETE FROM `".DB_PREFIX."product_option_value`;\n";
$sql .= "DELETE FROM `".DB_PREFIX."product_option_value_description` WHERE language_id=$languageId;\n";
$this->import( $database, $sql );
...more code...
}
I'm not that familiar with MySQL, but I want something to the effect of:
$sql .= "DELETE FROM `".DB_PREFIX."product_option_value` WHERE column != 'info';\n";
Thanks!
Edit:
I tried Michael's suggestion to use UPDATE and explicitly setting them all to NULL... but that returned this error:
Error: Duplicate entry '0' for key 1
Error No: 1062 UPDATE
oc_product_option_value SET
product_option_value_id=NULL,
product_option_id=NULL,
product_id=NULL, quantity=NULL,
subtract=NULL, price=NULL,
prefix=NULL, sort_order=NULL,
weight=NULL, sku=NULL, image=NULL
I tried taking out the primary key:
$sql .= "UPDATE
".DB_PREFIX."product_option_value
SET product_option_id=NULL,
product_id=NULL, quantity=NULL,
subtract=NULL, price=NULL,
prefix=NULL, sort_order=NULL,
weight=NULL;\n";
but I get:
Error: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1
Error No: 1062 INSERT INTO
`oc_product....
Edit:
Okay, so I removed the 'primary_key' field from the INSERT... and I got no error messages from the upload. But when I view a product that product options, I get this message the top of my page:
Notice: Undefined index: name in
/httpdocs/ocart/catalog/model/catalog/product.php
on line 418Notice: Undefined index:

Make sure I understand: You want to clear values from all columns in the table product_option_value except for the column info ? If that's what you want, then the following may work. Please don't run it before we're clear on what you're trying to do!
DELETE FROM syntax implies deleting from a table name, not a column name. What you'll need to do instead is to UPDATE your rows to set all columns except the one you intend to keep to be either NULL or empty or their default value.
Don't forget to add a WHERE condition if you need to keep some rows as they are without modifying them! Without a WHERE, this query will NULL out all columns specified in the whole table.
UPDATE product_option_value
SET
product_option = NULL,
product_id = NULL,
quantity = NULL,
etc...
WHERE (some where condition if you need one)
I'm adding a second answer, taking a completely different approach which avoids SQL problems.
Export your table as a comma-separated text file. You can do this with phpmyadmin, or MySQL Workbench.
Open your CSV in a spreadsheet
Clear out the columns you want to clear out.
Save as a new CSV
Import the CSV back into your database using phpmyadmin, Workbench, or the LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE syntax.
