Ave,
I¹m sure there would be better ways of doing this, and mine may not be the
most decent, but I did manage to solve this.
Here¹s how I did it:
- Create An Array
- Run the loop for all the records in the table
- Fill the array with the Field Names
- Display the Fields names with the ³Comma² being inserted on an ³If²
condition pertaining to the count() for the Array. So we place the ³Comma²
only ³If² there is a Value remaining in the Array.
- Reinitialize (empty) the Array upon restart of the loop (So that the next
set of values can go in)
I did this once for the Field Names and then again for the Values, and it
works perfect! The commas & apostrophes are just the way they should be, not
excessive. The entire INSERT INTO SQL statement is generated from the data
in the DBF file.
Here¹s the code:
<?php
$db_path = "$DATABASEFILE";
$dbh = dbase_open($db_path, 0) or die("Error! Could not open
dbase database file '$db_path'.");
if ($dbh) {
#Get the Information
$column_info = dbase_get_header_info($dbh);
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($dbh);
$fArray = array();
$vArray = array();
#Run the loop for all the records in the Table
for ($i = 1; $i <= $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($dbh, $i);
$fArray = array();
$vArray = array();
echo "INSERT INTO ".substr($DATABASEFILE_name,0,-4)." (";
#Run the loop for all the fields & Assign Field Names to an
Array
foreach ($column_info as $v1) { $fArray[]=$v1[name]; };
#Run the loop for all values in the Array & Display Field Names
$c=count($fArray);
for($j=0;$j<=$c;$j++) { echo $fArray[$j]; if($j<$c-1) { echo
","; } }
echo ") VALUES (";
#Run the loop for all the values corresponding to fields in the
Table
foreach ($column_info as $v1) {
$vArray[]=trim($row[$v1[name]]); }
#Run the loop for all values in the Array & Display Values
$c2=count($vArray);
for($j2=0;$j2<=$c2;$j2++) {
if($j2<$c2) { echo "'"; }
echo "$vArray[$j2]";
if($j2<$c2) { echo "'"; }
if($j2<$c2-1) { echo ", "; }
}
echo "); <br>";
}
}
dbase_close($dbh);
?>
