Insert array data into database - php

Question

I'm trying to insert array into database. Why don't this work?
$array_zone = array();
$array_data = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($keputusan1)){
$array_zone[] = $row['zone'];
$array_data[] = $row['data'];
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array_zone);
echo "<br>";
print_r($array_data);
echo "</pre>";
$list_zone = implode(",", $array_zone);
$list_data = implode(",", $array_data);
for($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++)
{
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `db`.`table1` (`id`, `domain`) VALUES ('$list_zone', '$list_data')");
}
Array output before implode:
Array
(
[0] => 270
[1] => 270
[2] => 255
[3] => 255
)
Array
(
[0] => ok.com.
[1] => lo.com.
[2] => i.com.
[3] => k.com.
)
Result I'm getting:
0 key should go with data in 0 key and 1 key should go with data in 1 key and so on... Help me please. Thank you.

Answer 1

You can use INSERT ... SELECT. The result returned in $keputusan1 is a SELECT query. And it certainly returns zone and data columns. Say the query is SELECT zone, data, columns ... FROM tbl1.
If you use INSERT ... SELECT the new query would be
INSERT INTO `db`.`table1` (`id`, `domain`) SELECT zone, data FROM tbl1";
This will SELECT first then INSERT it in one shot.
The problems with your code are
4 SQL statements. It should be 1.
You should use $array_zone and $array_data instead of $list_zone and $list_data if for loop is used. But it should not be as of step 1.

Answer 2

It seems to me, that you just forgot to use the loop-index ($i) within the loop
to access the arrays elements:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$array_zone = array('a','b','c','d');
$array_data = array('1','2','3','4');
print_r($array_zone);
print_r($array_data);
for($i = 0; $i < count($array_zone); $i++)
{
echo("INSERT INTO `db`.`table1` (`id`, `domain`) VALUES ('$array_zone[$i]', '$array_data[$i]')\n");
}
?>
Now replace that echo with your mysql_query call and remove the '\n' at the end...

Answer 3

Your list_zone (really array_zone) is enclosed in a single set of single quotes, so you're passing one long string. And you're doing it four times. Pass it one pair of values at a time.

Answer 4

Are you sure you want to do this in that way? Probably a good idea to try the serialize() function instead of the implode. http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php
Maybe an even better idea to use JSON for this task. http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php
