tjburke79 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I hope I have posted this in the right area but I am hoping someone can help me out. But its kinda mysql and php related... What I am trying to do is, query a members database to see if they have uploaded any new photos to there account. once i find out what photos are new, i would like to insert a single entry into a feeds table with field that has a comma separated value so that i can later use the explode function to see what new photos where uploaded in my members feed's application. // select latest uploaded photos SELECT MemberID, PhotoID FROM Photos WHERE DateTime >= '2011-05-04 13:02:18' ORDER BY MemberID this will output example... 1 | 11 1 | 15 1 | 89 2 | 68 so i guess where i am stuck is based on this select, how would i go about building a single entry per MemberID into my Feeds table? I would have to do use the loop and an implode function I am guessing but not to sure how to put it all together. // implode mysql result $comma_separated = implode(",", $array); what i need to do is compile the results so that i can make a single entry into my "Feeds" table per MemberID... insert one entry into feeds per MemberID an example would have to be like this.. INSERT INTO `Feed` (`MemberID`, `Data`) VALUES ('1', '11,15,89,97') INSERT INTO `Feed` (`MemberID`, `Data`) VALUES ('2', '68') I hope I explained myself on what I am trying to accomplish here. Any ideas or a better solution to what i am trying to do? I would rather have one entry then a new entry for every new photo. Thanks for your time.

fugix Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 so for each member id, the photoid field will store an array of all the photos?

tjburke79 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 The Data field on the "Feeds" table will store the temporary information, so in the feed i can select the MemberID and explode $Data to get the latest PhotoID's for that MemberID... My problem is building that initial query and loops compile the information to create the insert query Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/235613-select-information-then-build-an-insert-query-help/#findComment-1211053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugix Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 your question is unclear to me, so you are having trouble creating a query to do what?

tjburke79 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 @tjburke79: HINT: explore the GROUP_CONCAT() function (be aware of the size limitations) ok that looks like it should work, but when i run the query i get something like [bLOB - 34B] as the group_concat?
