PHP - Insert Array Data Into Database Using PDO

chimuzakamoto · 2025-02-27T07:04:12+0000

In this tutorial we will create a Insert Array Data Into Database using PDO. This code will insert an array data to the database server when user click the import button. The code use PHP POST method to call a specific that will insert the array data by break it down one by one with use of for() loop before inserting it through PDO query. This a user-friendly program feel free to modify and use it to your system.

We will be using PDO as a query scripting it an acronym for PHP Data Objects. It is a lean, clean, and consistent way to access databases. This means developers can write portable code much easier.

Getting Started:

First you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that run PHP scripts. Here's the link for XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html.

And, this is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating Database

Open your database web server then create a database name in it db_pdo_array, after that click Import then locate the database file inside the folder of the application then click ok.

Creating the database connection

Open your any kind of text editor(notepad++, etc..). Then just copy/paste the code below then name it conn.php.

<?php
$conn

=

new

PDO(

'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=db_pdo_array'

,

'root'

,

''

)

;
if

(

!

$conn

)

{
die

(

"Error: Failed to coonect to database!"

)

;
}
?>

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.php.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css">
<meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a href="https://sourcecodester.com" class="navbar-brand">Sourcecodester</a>
</div>
</nav>
<div class="col-md-3"></div>
<div class="col-md-6 well">
<h3 class="text-primary">PHP - Insert Array Data Into Database Using PDO</h3>
<hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;" />
<div class="col-md-6">
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead class="alert-info">
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Address</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
require

'conn.php'

;
$query

=

$conn

->

prepare

(

"SELECT * FROM `member`"

)

;
$query

->

execute

(

)

;
while

(

$row

=

$query

->

fetch

(

)

)

{
echo

"<tr>
<td>"

.

$row

[

'firstname'

]

.

"</td>
<td>"

.

$row

[

'lastname'

]

.

"</td>
<td>"

.

$row

[

'address'

]

.

"</td>
</tr>"

;
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div class="col-md-1"></div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<form method="POST" action="import.php">
<button class="btn btn-primary" name="import"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-import"></span> Import</button>
</form>
<br /><br />
<?php
$array

=

array

(
array

(

"firstname"

=>

"John"

,

"lastname"

=>

"Smith"

,

"address"

=>

"New York"

)

,
array

(

"firstname"

=>

"Claire"

,

"lastname"

=>

"Temple"

,

"address"

=>

"Racoon City"

)

,
)

;
echo

"<pre>"

;
print_r

(

$array

)

;
echo

"</pre>"
?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Creating the Main Function

This code contains the main function of the application. This code will insert the array data to database when the button is clicked. To do this just kindly write these block of codes inside the text editor, then save it as import.php.

<?php
require_once

'conn.php'

;
if

(

ISSET

(

$_POST

[

'import'

]

)

)

{
$array

=

array

(
array

(

"firstname"

=>

"John"

,

"lastname"

=>

"Smith"

,

"address"

=>

"New York"

)

,
array

(

"firstname"

=>

"Claire"

,

"lastname"

=>

"Temple"

,

"address"

=>

"Racoon City"

)

,
array

(

"firstname"

=>

"Tony"

,

"lastname"

=>

"Stark"

,

"address"

=>

"Socovia"

)

,
)

;
$count

=

count

(

$array

)

;
$query

=

$conn

->

prepare

(

"SELECT COUNT(*) as total FROM `member`"

)

;
$query

->

execute

(

)

;
$row

=

$query

->

fetch

(

)

;
if

(

$row

[

'total'

]

==

0

)

{
for

(

$i

=

0

;

$i

<

$count

-

1

;

$i

++

)

{
$firstname

=

$array

[

$i

]

[

"firstname"

]

;
$lastname

=

$array

[

$i

]

[

"lastname"

]

;
$address

=

$array

[

$i

]

[

"address"

]

;
try{
$conn

->

setAttribute

(

PDO::

ATTR_ERRMODE

,

PDO::

ERRMODE_EXCEPTION

)

;
$sql

=

"INSERT INTO `member`(firstname, lastname, address) VALUES ('$firstname

', '$lastname

', '$address

')"

;
$conn

->

exec

(

$sql

)

;
}

catch(

PDOException $e

)

{
echo

$e

->

getMessage

(

)

;
}
}
echo

"<script>alert('Successfully imported!')</script>"

;
echo

"<script>window.location='index.php'</script>"

;
}

else

{
echo

"<script>alert('An array is already imported!')</script>"

;
echo

"<script>window.location='index.php'</script>"

;
}
}
?>
