scvinodkumar Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 You should get the values like this, $_POST['imagename'][$i], not $_POST['imagename[]'] $sql = "INSERT INTO image_list (ProductID, imagename) VALUES ('6666',$_POST['imagename'][$i]]) "; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/195667-insert-multiple-rows/#findComment-1028451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I *think* $_POST['imagename'] is supposed to be an array of values? Also, the correct format for an INSERT query with multiple records is like this: INSERT INTO tableName (field1, field2) VALUES ('value1a', 'value1b'), ('value2a', 'value2b'), ('value3a', 'value3b') Plus you were not encasing the imageame value in single quotes in the query. I think what you want to do is something like this: $values = array(); foreach ($_POST['imagename'] as $imagename) { $values[] = "('6666', '{$imagename}')"; } $sql = "INSERT INTO image_list (ProductID, imagename) VALUES " . implode(', ', $values); mysql_query( $sql, $international); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/195667-insert-multiple-rows/#findComment-1028454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
