PHP Query Inserting Data Twice? - php

Question

I am trying to make a feature for the Mybb system going to call it social groups, so far it's been great but when I try to insert a comment in the database it inserts it twice due to the msql_fetch_array and how it works (php should fix this)
Anyway how can I get the Posts id the user is commenting on and insert it only once in the database not twice
<?php
require_once ("core/connection.php");
require_once ("core/group_functions.php");
//We need to post the message update in to the database
if(isset($_POST['post_message_submit'])) {
$post_message_submit = $_POST['post_message_submit'];
$post_message = $_POST['post_message'];
if(($post_message_submit) && ($post_message)) {
$insert_query = $db->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "groups_posts" . "(posted_by, group_name, post_body)
VALUES ('$mybb_username', '$get_group_url' ,'$post_message')");
} else {
echo "<text style='color:red;'> You Must Specify A Message</a></text>";
}
}
echo "
<form action='' method='POST'>
<textarea name='post_message' id='post_message' placeholder='Whats Going On?'></textarea><br>
<input type='submit' name='post_message_submit' value='Post'>
</form>
";
$fetch_index_query = $db->query("SELECT post_id,posted_by,post_body,post_active,group_name FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "groups_posts WHERE group_name='$get_group_url'");
while($fetch_index_groups_array = $db->fetch_array($fetch_index_query)) {
$post_id_row = $fetch_index_groups_array['post_id'];
$posted_by = $fetch_index_groups_array['posted_by'];
$g_name = $_fetch_index_groups_array['g_name'];
$g_body = $fetch_index_groups_array['post_body'];
echo("<br>" . "<a href=''> $posted_by </a>" . "<br>" . $gname
. "<br>____________
<br>
<form action='' method='POST'>
<input type='text' name='comment_post' placeholder='Comment then Hit Enter'>
</form>
"
);
$fetch_comments_query = $db->query("SELECT g_name,post_body,comment_by FROM spud_groups_comments WHERE post_id='$post_id_row'");
while($fetch_groups_comments = $db->fetch_array($fetch_comments_query)) {
$post_body = $fetch_groups_comments['post_body'];
echo ("<br>" . $post_body);
}
$insert_query = $db->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "groups_posts" . "(posted_by, group_name, post_body)
VALUES ('$mybb_username', '$get_group_url' ,'$post_message')");
}
//We have done everything we need to do we can now exit and not execute anything beyond this point
exit();
?>
This software is going to be open source so you are really contributing to the feature by helping as I have never gone this advanced before.
Thanks!

Answer 1

because you are using insert query twice :)

Remove second insert query from code.
