How to do a continuous mysql insert using foreach? - php

Question

I am trying to insert multiple urls(url_array) into the database.
First, I need to get some information from the urls ( url title, url images,...decsription). I am doing this using SimpleHtmlDom.
So I placing this in a foreach loop. My hope is that it inserts after each iteration until the end of the array.
If there is a bad url, it should skip to the next url in the array.
I also want that at the end( the last iteration) some json success message is parse back through jquery.
For the code I have below, it only inserts sometimes just 2 or 3 of which there are still more urls in the array.
Here is my code :
$txturls = $_POST['bulkurls'];
$urlsArray = array_map('trim', explode(',', $txturls));
//var_dump($urlsArray);
$i = 0;
$len = count($urlsArray);
foreach($urlsArray as $url){
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
if ($result !== false)
{
$statusCode = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
if ($statusCode == 404)
{
$checkExist = "URL Not Exists";
}
else
{
$checkExist = "URL Exists";
}
}
else
{
$checkExist = "URL not Exists";
}
if($checkExist === "URL Exists"){
$html = SimpleHtmlDom::file_get_html($url);
foreach($html->find('title') as $element)
{
$urltitle = $element->plaintext;
}
$tags = get_meta_tags($url);
$description = $tags['description'];
if(strlen($description) < 1){$description = $urltitle .' '.'check title';};
$images = array();
foreach($html->find('meta[property=og:image]') as $element) {
if(!preg_match('/blank.(.*)/i', $element->content) && filter_var($element->content, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL))
{
$images[] = url_to_absolute($linkurl, $element->content);
}
}
foreach ($images as $ext){
//$imagesize = getimagesize(''.$ext.'');
if (pathinfo($ext, PATHINFO_EXTENSION)) {
$image = "<img src=\"$ext\" alt=\"$urltitle\">";
break;
}
}
$linkurl = $url;
$checkIfUrlExist = $this->_modellinks->checkUrlExist($linkurl);
if($checkIfUrlExist == false){
$this->_modellinks->addBulkLinks($data['log_username'], $ipaddress, $linkurl, $urltitle, $subafrolinks, $keywords, $description, $image);
}
} else {
continue;
}
if ($i == $len - 1) {
// last
$output = json_encode(array('type'=>'message', 'text' => 'Thanks for your submission! Your URL has been submitted successfully And its under review . <strong>You will be notified when your post is published online. This usually takes less than 1 hour.<br> Here is your preview link'));
die($output);
}
$i++;
}

Answer 1

Since it is inserting 2-3 URLs, it implies that your insertion query as well as foreach loop are working well.
When you say that there are still more URLs left in the array, are you talking about $urlsArray ?
Have you checked whether flag '$checkExists' is set for remaining URLs?
To do that try pushing these URLs where $checkExists == 'URL Exists' in a new array $arGoodUrl and then work on it. You'll get a better idea then.
