PHP - Insert Or Update Duplicating Data

I am logging occasions someone's profile is viewed.

I will use a Cron to report the amount of views.

Do I?

(1) INSERT a record every time and count up at end. Remember, I'm using a Cron to report amount of views so won't be counting up on every page request!!

(2) UPDATE a table (but won't I need to SELECT previous value first)? Unless, "UPDATE field1 and add 1 to it's value" is possible.

Which is best?

i dont know if i remember this right.... but months ago i found an article saying that UPDATE is nice since it can do INSERT if there is nothing to update... is this true? or is there other functions that can do this?

Hi i need to count the number items in an album now on the album i have create a field called count which counts the number items in that album

but now i dnt knw how to update those as soon insert a item in the table item

so i thought woul be possible to create a script that when insert data into item tables also update album table row count by adding one like update count with A now A equal row count ++1  any help on start of it if possible???/

I have a form right now that Updates a table on my database.

I was wondering if I could possibly still have that working but also Insert the same information into another table on the database when the submit button is pressed?

I am attempting something similar to the following:

Code: [Select]
mysql_query("UPDATE table SET name='$name' WHERE id=$id");
if (mysql_affected_rows()==0) {
mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (id, name) VALUES ('$name',$id);
}

If the $id row does not exists in the table, mysql_affected_rows() returns 0 and a new $id row gets inserted
but if the $id row already exists and UPDATE changes nothing, mysql_affected_rows() still returns 0
and gives an 'duplicate id' error as expected.

I know I could use a SELECT to test for the existance of the $id row.
In Perl there is an '0E0', 'zero but true', condition to handle this. Is there an equivilant in PHP?
 

how can i make this code to insert a single, multiple and update rows in the database. The code only insert new rows in the database.

Code: [Select]

if (($handle = fopen('inventorylist.csv', "r")) !== FALSE) {
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 100000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
        $num = count($data);
     

                  $sql="INSERT into inventory(itemNumber,itemDesc,quantityHand,category,Whse) values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]')";

                    mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

       
    }
    fclose($handle);

        }

I am trying to create a script that takes information from a form and puts in a database.
In the action page, I decided to post a URL that shows the user there story that they posted. This is where I ran into the problem. . I realized that for the optional fields I could not just use a seperate insert statement, because this creates a new row. So I desided to use update statments, but this STILL does not work, they values or simply not getting inserted.  Here is the code:
Code: [Select]
<?php

if(isset($_POST['hidden']))
{

die('SPAM BOT!');
}
if (
!isset($_POST['title']) 
&& !isset($_POST['summary'])
&& !isset($_POST['story'])
&& !isset($_POST['rating'])
&& !isset($_POST['cat'])
)
{
die("<div id='impor'>You forgot to enter one(or more) of the following fields <br />

 ");

I need to insert data into a table if it doesn't exist or update if it does.

Can someone give me an example of this code.

im using mySQL 5.1.42
im using phpMyAdmin 3.1.o

Hello:

Can someone give me some insight on how to be able to not just add (INSERT) a photo and photo description with the following code, but also how to add the ability to UPDATE (if the user wants to replace a photo or adjust the photo description):

Code: [Select]

// Fetch the photo array sent by preupload.php
$photos_uploaded = $_FILES['photo_filename'];

// Fetch the photo caption array

The tutorial says to edit a photo, simply add:
Code: [Select]
function edit_photo( $photo_id, $new_caption, $new_category )        <br>
{        <br>
  mysql_query( "UPDATE gallery_photo SET photo_caption='".addslashes( $new_caption )."', photo_category='".addslashes( $new_category )."' WHERE photo_id='".addslashes( $photo_id )."'"  );        <br>
}


But I can not figure out how to call that function.

Anyone help me out?

Thanks.

Hi..

THANKS IN ADVANCED

Is there any way to tell my php ajax file to run the update query if the data already exist and if not, then create the row in the database?  I have both the update and the insert functions created, but was just wondering if I could tell php which one to use without passing through a parameter.

I put a snippet up yesterday, and thought it had been solved. It had a typo error, but there is still something wrong. The whole page follows, because it might be easier to see what I am doing. The form successfully inserts a new record OK, but it will not update a record that already exists as is intended. Instead, it always creates another new record. Where can I be wrong?


<?php
session_start();

// See if logged in member by checking session data
if (isset($_SESSION['recid'])) {
    // Put stored session variables into local php variable
    $userid      = $_SESSION['recid'];
    $username    = $_SESSION['name'];
    $school      = $_SESSION['college'];
    $payer_email = $_SESSION['payer_email'];
    $group1      = $_SESSION['group1'];
    $group2      = $_SESSION['group2'];
    $group3      = $_SESSION['group3'];
    $group4      = $_SESSION['group4'];
    $group5      = $_SESSION['group5'];
