Insert an array in the database - php

Question

I want to insert an array in the database. The array can be changed all the time. I want different rows in the database.
My code:
$var = file_get_contents("test2.txt");
$test = preg_replace('/\\\\/', '', $var);
$poep = explode(" ", $test);
Yeah, there is no database connection, because I want to know how to 'split' the array to insert it in the database.
I have tried this:
foreach($poep as $row) {
$row = $mysqli->real_escape_string($row);
if($mysqli->query("insert into data('array') VALUES ($row)") == false){
echo 'Doesnt works!';
}
It returns 'Doesnt works', so I think there is a problem with query?

Answer 1

#NadirDev Hi. Assuming that you are using Core PHP programming. After exploding the string by the space, run foreach loop and then insert individual rows. Look at this rough code to get idea:
foreach($poep as $row) {
// $row now contains one word. Add that in database.
$row = mysql_real_escape_string($row);
$query = mysql_query("insert into tableName('fieldName') VALUES ($row)");
}

here's some code I wrote. It processes a CSV file and stores separate rows into a db table (difference is just that you have a TXT file). It does the mysql insertion in batches of 250 rows. Hope it can help you!
// read all input rows into an array
echo "Processing input..<br /><br />";
$row = 0;
$input = array();
if (($handle = fopen($file['tmp_name'], "r")) !== FALSE) {
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 0, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$num = count($data);
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
$input[$row][] = addslashes($data[$c]);
}
$row++;
}
fclose($handle);
}
$count = 0;
$q = "INSERT INTO `inputs` (`keyword`, `percent`, `link`, `added_on`) VALUES ";
foreach ($input as $inp) {
$q .= "('" . addslashes($inp[0]) . "', '" . addslashes($inp[1]) . "', '" . addslashes($inp[2]) . "', '" . date('Y-m-d H:i:s') . "'), ";
$count++;
if ($count >= 250) {
$q = substr($q, 0, -2);
$q = mysqli_query($con, $q);
$q = "INSERT INTO `inputs` (`keyword`, `percent`, `link`, `added_on`) VALUES ";
$count = 0;
}
}
if ($count > 0) {
$q = substr($q, 0, -2);
$q = mysqli_query($con, $q);
}
echo "Successfully added " . count($input) . " rows to the input list.";
