How to add INSERT IGNORE INTO in Codeigniter batch insert query - php

Question

How to make codeigniter function that works same as insert_batch() but generates query Like INSERT IGNORE INTO ?
I need INSERT IGNORE INTO because one of my table's key is unique and its showing error when duplicate entry comes.

I searched code for add "INSERT IGNORE INTO " instead of "INSERT INTO" in codeigniter batch insert query but I didn't found results for that.
Yes we can made our custom batch insert query by using PHP login But if you want to do it in codeigniter use this function.
Add this function in (codeigniter/system/database/DB_active.rec.php).
/*
*Function For Batch Insert using Ignore Into
*/
public function custom_insert_batch($table = '', $set = NULL)
{
if ( ! is_null($set))
{
$this->set_insert_batch($set);
}
if (count($this->ar_set) == 0)
{
if ($this->db_debug)
{
//No valid data array. Folds in cases where keys and values did not match up
return $this->display_error('db_must_use_set');
}
return FALSE;
}
if ($table == '')
{
if ( ! isset($this->ar_from[0]))
{
if ($this->db_debug)
{
return $this->display_error('db_must_set_table');
}
return FALSE;
}
$table = $this->ar_from[0];
}
// Batch this baby
for ($i = 0, $total = count($this->ar_set); $i < $total; $i = $i + 100)
{
$sql = $this->_insert_batch($this->_protect_identifiers($table, TRUE, NULL, FALSE), $this->ar_keys, array_slice($this->ar_set, $i, 100));
$sql = str_replace('INSERT INTO','INSERT IGNORE INTO',$sql);
//echo $sql;
$this->query($sql);
}
$this->_reset_write();
return TRUE;
}
To use this function
$this->db->custom_insert_batch($table_name, $batch_data);
Thanks !
