Re: db insert question

Thanks for your reply, your example demonstrates what i was doing but does that do a MySQL query for every piece of data? So 20 form values would be 20 db queries, would that not consume a lot of resources?
Is their another way?




Thanks,
James

Im using mysql with PHP4, whats the best way to insert as many as 20 records at one time from a form?

Currently im just assigning each one a variable but that is messy and takes ages, is their a way to loop over the array of form data then maybe do the same to enter it into a database?


Thanks for any help.


A generic question begs a generic answer:

foreach($formdata as $thisdata){
  $result=mysql_query("insert into ... values($thisdata) where ...");
}


Hope this helps, but it would be useful to have code examples, etc so that a
more relevant answer could be rendered.
