How do I add more than one row with Zend_Db?

Question

I have an array with information which looks more or less like this:

$data[] = array(\'content\'=>\'asd\');
$data[] = array(\'content\'=>\'asdf\');
         


        

Answer 1

to insert multiple rows you can use Zend_Db

$stmt = $table->getAdapter()->prepare('INSERT INTO tablename (col1, col2, col3) VALUES (?, ?, ?), (?, ?, ?)');

$stmt->execute( array($value1, $value2, $value3, $value4, $value5, $value6) );

(from Bill Karwin)

in your case we can change that to this code:

$data[] = array('content'=>'asd');
$data[] = array('content'=>'asdf');

$stmt = $table->getAdapter()->prepare('INSERT INTO table (col1) VALUES (?), (?)');
$stmt->execute( $data );

to generate these '(?), (?)' dynamically, incase the data is dynamic, you can try using this snippet:

$values = implode(',',array_fill(0,count($data),'(?)'));

hope this helps
