DB Query Question
#1

[eluser]loganbest[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm fairly new to OOPHP and CI so I had a quick question that could be an easy answer for some people.

I have a form right now with about 100 checkboxes all with the same name so they will submit as an array of numbers.

I also have a table named tag_restaurant_rel which is a relational table that is setup as InnoDB and both `restaurant_id` and `tag_id` are Foreign Keys relating to the corresponding columns in two other tables.

The form will be submitted with 1 restaurant_id and several tag_id's.

In the tag_restaurant_rel table there is a record for each tag_id in the array all with the same restaurant_id from the form.

What I need to happen is for the form to be submitted and depending on the array of checkbox values the tag_restaurant_rel table will need to delete the records that are not in the array and create a new record for each tag_id in the array.

I'm mostly curious in the most efficient way to do this OOP and CI style.

Really? nothing?

Any particular reason to try and figure out the difference between the checked tags and what's in the db?

Code:
$this->db->where('restaurant_id', $restaurant_id)->delete('tag_restaurant_rel');

$insert = array();
foreach($tags as $tag_id) {
    $insert[] = array('tag_id' => $tag_id, 'restaurant_id' => $restaurant_id);
}

$this->db->insert_batch('tag_restaurant_rel', $insert);

Because if they uncheck those tags when they update the record they need to be removed from the relational table.

Also do I just set $tags as $this->input->post( 'taglist', true )

Call to undefined method CI_DB_mysql_driver::insert_batch()

Why do I get this?

I have:
$active_group = "default";
$active_record = TRUE;

If you're deleting and adding records anyways, there's no point in only deleting what's not checked. Just delete all of the records for that restaurant and re-add what's necessary, like what's in my example.

You're using an old version? insert_batch and update_batch have been around for over a year. If you're not going to upgrade you would have to run an insert query for each row, or manually construct a batch insert statement.
