Loop an array help

[tobeyt323]

How can I loop an array and process in  groups 100 at a time?

[gw1500se]

Use foreach. Not sure why you want groups of 100. What do you plan to do between groups? You can add a counter to the loop and do whatever every 100 within the loop.

I want to take 100 at a time and out the records into a DB. The array is 318000 records so trying to speed up putting them into the DB

[gw1500se]

Then do what I suggested. Build a query that inserts multiple rows up to your limit then issue that query. However, 100 may be too small a number to achieve maximum efficiency. That article also explains out to decide how many rows can be practically handled.

[Barand]

Use array_chunk() to break up the array into many arrays of 100 in each

EG

    $data = range(1, 250);
    
    $chunks = array_chunk($data, 25);
    foreach ($chunks as $chunk) {
        foreach ($chunk as $n) {
            printf('%03d ', $n);
        }
        echo '<br>';
    }

The 318000 items aren't coming from another table, are they?

[tobeyt323]

No they are not coming from another table, data is pulled from a text file

CSV?
