Hello,

I'm updating a table with following SQL statement

 $sql = "INSERT INTO x_ikaluokat (ryhma, ikaluokka)
   VALUES ('$ryhma','$ikaluokka')";

What would be the best way to test that similar rows doesn't get created to the table? I can't make both columns unique.

Can't you define a key in your sql table, to avoid "similar raws" ?
otherwise, you can set an array with both values
$my_array[$ryhma] = $ikaluokka;
and test for each insert
if ( !array_key_exists($ryhma,$my_array))
{ $sql = "INSERT ...";
}
elseif ( $my_array[$ryhma] != $ikaluokka )
{ $sql = "INSERT ...";
}

but if you have a lot of insert, the script needs a lot of memory to run properly.

N F
Thanks
