How to insert multiple rows in MySQL using PHP
<?php class InsertClass { private $pdo; public function __construct() { // database connection $this->pdo = new PDO("mysql:host = localhost; dbname = test", 'root', ''); } function insert($name, $age, $address) { $user = array(':name' => $name, ':age' => $age, ':address' => $address); $sql = 'INSERT INTO users ( name, age, address ) VALUES ( :name, :age, :address );'; $query = $this->pdo->prepare($sql); return $query->execute($user); } } ?>
We can now call the insert() method several times:
<?php $obj = new InsertClass(); $obj->insert('Alex', 22, 'California'); // 1st insertion $obj->insert('Bob', 25, 'Alaska'); // 2nd insertion $obj->insert('Yohan', 30, 'Alabama'); // 3rd insertion $obj->insert('Jean', 45, 'Arizona'); // 4th insertion ?>
