INSERT IGNORE using Codeigniter

Question

I am trying to insert a few rows into the MySQL table using Codeigniter and Active Records.

PHP Code

$data = array(\'......\');  //          


        

Answer 1

Don't use insert_batch, as it actually runs the query. You want insert_string

$insert_query = $this->db->insert_string('my_table', $data);
$insert_query = str_replace('INSERT INTO','INSERT IGNORE INTO',$insert_query);
$this->db->query($insert_query);

UPDATE: This doesn't work for batch queries, only one row at a time.
