Drag and Drop array NOT EXIST then Insert into MySQL - php

Question

I have two tables one for user and one for search. When I drag a search over to user it adds entire search list. How do I only insert the item dragged and not the entire search array?
THE PROBLEM IS recordsArray.
<?php
require("db.php");
$action = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['action']);
$updateRecordsArray = $_POST['recordsArray'];
if ($action == "updateRecordsListings"){
$listingCounter = 1;
foreach ($updateRecordsArray as $recordIDValue) {
$query = "UPDATE records1 SET recordListingID = " . $listingCounter . " WHERE recordID = " . $recordIDValue;
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, update query failed');
//INSERTS array item that does NOT EXIT in userTable
if (mysql_affected_rows()==0) {
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO records1 SELECT * FROM records WHERE recordID = " . $recordIDValue);
$query = "UPDATE records1 SET recordListingID = " . $listingCounter . " WHERE recordID = " . $recordIDValue;
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert/update query failed');
}
$listingCounter = $listingCounter + 1;
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($updateRecordsArray);
echo '</pre>';
echo 'If you refresh the page, you will see that records will stay just as you modified.';
}
?>
Both list arrays id must maintain the same id names in order for the above item to acknowledge and process the list items. Keeping things simple I just used the same code for the Search, User format:
<li id="recordsArray_<?php echo $result['recordID']; ?>"><?php echo $result['recordID'] . ". " . $result['recordText']; ?></li>
Javascript:
$(function() {
$("#contentLeft ul, #main ul").sortable({ accept: '.draggable', connectWith: "#contentLeft ul", opacity: 0.6, cursor: 'move', update: function() {
var order = $(this).sortable("serialize") + '&action=updateRecordsListings';
$.post("updateDB.php", order, function(theResponse){
$("#contentRight").html(theResponse);
});
}
});
}).disableSelection();
});
How can I call only the recordsArray items from #content ul?

I can only get one insert per refresh with this but it does drag and drop insert...
Still need an if statement for possible errors because +/-1 if
<?php
require("db.php");
$action = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['action']);
$updateRecordsArray = $_POST['recordsArray'];
$uRA = $updateRecordsArray;
// Get total number of elements in $updateRecordsArray
$ifArray = $updateRecordsArray;
$resultCount = count($ifArray);
//echo '<br />';
//print_r($resultCount);
// Get total number of rows in $records1
$recordTable = array();
$result = mysql_query("SELECT recordListingID FROM records1");
$numRows = mysql_num_rows($result);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$recordTable = array_merge($recordTable, array_map('trim', explode(",", $row['recordListingID'])));
}
//Gets $id/$val of elements not in both arrays
$results = array_diff($uRA, $recordTable);
//echo '<br />';
//print_r($numRows);
//Give variables for +/- 1 $numRows
$plusNumRows = $numRows + 1;
$minusNumRows = $numRows - 1;
//echo '<br />';
//print_r($minusNumRows);
// Normal jQuery drag and drop ranking found online
if ($action == "updateRecordsListings"){
$listingCounter = 1;
foreach ($updateRecordsArray as $recordIDValue) {
//If statement for for +/- 1 $numRows
If ($resultCount == $numRows -1 || $resultCount == $numRows || $resultCount == $numRows + 1){
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO records1 SELECT * FROM records WHERE recordID = $recordIDValue");
}
$query = "UPDATE records1 SET recordListingID = " . $listingCounter . " WHERE recordID = " . $recordIDValue;
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, update query failed');
$listingCounter = $listingCounter + 1;
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($updateRecordsArray);
echo '</pre>';
echo 'If you refresh the page, you will see that records will stay just as you modified.';
}
?>
