insert data from a string into MySQL table as rows


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone could help me finding the error or why my script won't insert data into the table.

$str = '123456,123457,123458,123459,234567,234568,234569';
$str_arr = explode (",", $str);
echo '<br> $str_arr = ';
print_r($str_arr);
echo "<br><br><br>";

foreach ($str_arr as $value)
{
	$sql = 'INSERT INTO parts (part_serial) VALUES ("'.$value.'")';
        if(mysqli_query($connect, $sql)){
                echo "record inserted successfully.<br>";
        } else {
                echo "<br>ERROR: $sql.";
                print_r($connect->error);
        }
}

and i don't any error, if anyone could help me debug the code  this is the output:

$str_arr = Array ( [0] => 123456 [1] => 123457 [2] => 123458 [3] => 123459 [4] => 234567 [5] => 234568 [6] => 234569 )

ERROR: INSERT INTO parts (part_serial) VALUES ("123456").
ERROR: INSERT INTO parts (part_serial) VALUES ("123457").
ERROR: INSERT INTO parts (part_serial) VALUES ("123458").
ERROR: INSERT INTO parts (part_serial) VALUES ("123459").
ERROR: INSERT INTO parts (part_serial) VALUES ("234567").
ERROR: INSERT INTO parts (part_serial) VALUES ("234568").
ERROR: INSERT INTO parts (part_serial) VALUES ("234569").

your connection probably doesn't exist and you would be getting a bunch of php errors.

you need to ALWAYS have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL and when learning, developing, and debugging code/queries, set display_errors to ON. these settings should be in the php.ini on your system.

next, you need to ALWAYS have error handling for all statements that can fail. for database statements - connection, query, prepare, and execute, the easiest way of adding error handling is to use exceptions and in most cases let php catch the exception where it will use its error related settings to control what happens with the actual error information (database errors will automatically get displayed or logged the same as php errors.)

I wanted to thank you guys for your help, I had 3 days trying to figure it out and finally found the error, there is no issues in the code it was only that i hace the connection line deleted for some reason!!!

I just want to apologize for my terrible mistake... I am sorry

but I did turned ON display_errors for php... thank you for that too!!
