foreach

[An7hony]

Hi i am trying to pass values from a cart to a database using foreach.

 

This is my code:

$columns = array('order_id', 'order_item_id', 'order_product_name', 'order_product_dimensions', 'order_product_options', 'order_product_quantity', 'order_product_price', 'order_product_subtotal', 'order_product_vat', 'order_product_delivery','order_product_total','order_product_sku','order_product_image_name','order_product_image_type','order_product_image_path','order_product_image_size','order_product_artwork_link','order_product_artwork_name','order_product_artwork_type','order_product_artwork_path','order_product_artwork_size','order_firstname','order_lastname','order_companyname','order_email','order_tel','order_billing_address','order_billing_address2','order_billing_town','order_billing_county','order_billing_postcode','order_shipping_address','order_shipping_address2','order_shipping_town','order_shipping_county','order_shipping_postcode','order_status','order_username');
$data = array_fill_keys($columns, 'NULL');

foreach($data as $key => $value) {

	$data[$key] = empty($_POST[$key]) ? 'NULL' : "'".mysql_escape_string($_POST[$key])."'";
	$query = "INSERT INTO orders (id, order_created_at, ".implode(", ",$columns).")
VALUES (null, NOW(), ".implode(",",$data).')';

}

 

Problem is posting 2 or more products into the database.

 

How do i split the values so it enters each product into the database?

You would need to separate each set of values with a comma, and then you will insert multiple rows. Also, take the actual INSERT query out of the loop since you only want that to happen once. Your query should look like

INSERT INTO orders (column1, column2, column2) VALUES (1,2,3), (4,5,6), (7,8,9)
