array values into mysql - php

Question

I have an array that looks like:
Array ( [0] => 'overview'
[53] => 'PUBLIC'
[54] => '-friendsD'
[55] => 'XHTML'
[56] => '1.0'
[57] => 'Transitional'
[77] => 'People' );
How can I take those values and put them into MySQL with an INSERT? For example INSERT INTO array_value VALUES ('$arrayvalues'). For each array value is a new post into MySQL.
I tried this:
<?php
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.mysiteexample.com/');
$array = explode(" ",$homepage);
foreach($array as $val) {
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "111";
$password = "111";
$dbname = "111";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} else {
if ($val != " "){
$val = $val. " ";
$query = "INSERT INTO `111` (word) VALUES ('$val')";
$executeQuery = $conn->query($query) === TRUE;
}
if ($executeQuery === TRUE) {
//echo "New record created successfully";
echo $val;
} else {
//echo "Error: " . $query . "<br>" . $conn->error;
echo $val. " ";
}}
$conn->close();
}
?>
This works to some extent. It produces many empty results how could it be filtered to have no empty posts. I tried the $val != " " but this didnt work.

You can loop through the array and build the query. Then execute it.
<?php
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.mywebsite.com/');
$array = explode(" ",$homepage);
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} else {
$executeQuery;
for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) {
if (!empty($array[$i])) {
$executeQuery = $conn->query("INSERT INTO `yourTable` (yourField) VALUES ('" . $array[$i] . "')");
}
}
if ($executeQuery === TRUE) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $query . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();
}
?>
