Insert all rows of an array into MySql table - Codeigniter-related - php

Question

I'm trying to enter 100 email addresses separated by ';' and store them in MySql table. What I've tried so far is:
$recipient_raw = $this->input->post('recipient'); //get the 100 emails in $recipient_raw
$recipient_array=explode(';', $recipient_raw); //explode them into an array
$title = $this->input->post('title');
$body = $this->input->post('body');
foreach($recipient_array->result() as $row):
$recipient=array(
'email'=>$row->email //looping through each email; seems I should not use $row->email since there's no title for them
);
$this->db->insert('eamil_send',$this->db->escape($recipient));
endforeach;
I'm running this on CodeIgniter PHP. Error msg is on line foreach($recipient_array->result() as $row):, where it says: Call to a member function result() on a non-object
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1

result(), is an active record function for converting a database result object. You are creating a standard array.
$batch = array();
foreach($recipient as $row){
$batch[] = array(
'email' => $row
);
}
$this->db->insert_batch('email_send', $batch);
That should do what you're trying to accomplish.

Answer 2

The error message is pretty much self explanatory..
In the 2nd line of your code you declared $recipient_array as an Array(), not an object. So, there's no "result" method available.
Your loop should be
foreach($recipient_array as $row)
On a side note, you probably shouldn't be executing db operations inside a loop (especially, for 100 operations!). Instead, you should save all the queries in one big query string and execute at the end.

Answer 3

If you want your 100 email address be separate by ',' you should use implode(glue, pieces) instead of explode() function. Like on email address that you want to insert.
$recipient_raw = array();
$recipient_raw[] = $this->input->post('recipient');
foreach ($recipient_raw as $value) {
$tem_arr = implode(',', $value);
}
$this->db->insert('eamil_send',$this->db->escape($tem_arr));
