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

This is basically a modification of Rocket Hazmat's suggestion, which is great, but doesn't take into account the fact that str_replace operates on the entire string and might inadvertently affect the data.

$insert_query = $this->db->insert_string('my_table', $data);
$insert_query = preg_replace('/INSERT INTO/','INSERT IGNORE INTO',$insert_query,1);
$this->db->query($insert_query);
