while inserting the data only unique records should be inserted into the database how can i do this.

can nayone help me its urgent

Thanks In advance

he hello can anyone help me regarding this

Hi,

while inserting the data only unique records should be inserted into the database

  • Unique records based on what field(s)?
  • Unique records in the csv?
    You can use array_unique() to remove duplicates from csv, before you send it to bulk upload
  • Unique records in the DB?
    I assume bulkupload_model is a custom model, you can change the functionality and check if a record exists (based on your unique field) before inserting it?

Create a unique key in your table scheme and then use a raw query:

$row = array(
    $row['Category Id'],
    $row['Category Name']
    );

$sql = "INSERT IGNORE INTO tablename SET cat_id = ?, name = ?"; 
$this->db->query($sql, $row);

By using INSERT IGNORE when a duplicate key is found, it will continue without returning an error.

Docs:

The code which i mentioned above is wrong or right.

y did u use set
cat_id=? what is ?

The code which i mentioned above is wrong or right.

It seems correct, but if you have doubts check the error log of CI and paste the errors here.

y did u use set cat_id=? what is ?

It's a query bind in a prepared statement, and it used to escape values: the values are passed to the query through an array of values (so without index keys). In your previous code, at line 23, would translate to something like this:

$insert_data = array(
                   'cat_id'=>$row['Category Id'], 
                    'name'=>$row['Category Name'],
                );

$insert_data = array_values($insert_data);

Or simply:

$insert_data = array(
    $row['Category Id'],
    $row['Category Name']
);

For more information read the last paragraph in this page:

If you have doubts, show us your Model code.

function insert_csv($data)
    {
        $this->db->insert('category', $data);
    }
    function insertcsv($data)
    {
        $this->db->insert('sub_category',$data);
    }

This is my model code

cat_id is the name which i given in database iam comparing that name with the name given in the csv file so i use d'cat_id'=$row['CategoryId']

Ok, in your database table create a unique key:

alter table category add unique key(cat_id);

So you cannot insert duplicates and to avoid errors add the IGNORE statement to your insert query, your model now becomes:

function insert_csv($data)
{
    $sql = "INSERT IGNORE INTO category SET cat_id = ?, name = ?"; 
    $this->db->query($sql, array_values($data));

}

And everything should work fine.

Docs: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/constraint-primary-key.html

You may use on duplicate phrase, if your table has proper primary key or unique key combination. It wil not give any error on duplicate value insertion, rather it wil update it accoding to what you set to update

$sql = "insert into table (col1,col2) values (val1,val2)  on duplicate key update  col1=val1";

If iam uploading an empty csv file i should get a message as please insert the values how can i do this

at line 145 after while loop you can check $row variable

If ($row==0 )
   echo "UPLOAD FILE WITH PROPER RECORDS";

in library function or in controller function

If ($row==0 )
   echo "UPLOAD FILE WITH PROPER RECORDS";

   if i use this code and i import an csv file it is inserting as zeros

getting error as undefined variable result

attach here your php file ,sample csv file and mysql table script, so that your code can be tested here

already posted the code above

I am asking for mysql script and sample csv file you upload

Controller:

function csvimport() {
        $data['error'] = '';    //initialize image upload error array to empty
        $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';

        $this->load->library('upload', $config);
        // If upload failed, display error
        if (!$this->upload->do_upload()) {
            $data['error'] = $this->upload->display_errors();
        } else {
            $file_data = $this->upload->data();
            $file_path =  './uploads/'.$file_data['file_name'];

    }
    function insertcsv($data)

Iam loading the csv import library function in my controller

Category Table

cat_id
name

Sub-category

sub_cat_id(primary key)
name

while uploading the file sub category ids should be unique if we enter duplicate it should not add and should not display error just it should show a message as format is wrong.

this is the csv file iam uploading

any idea

function insert_csv($data)
{
    $query = $this->db->query("select count(*) cnt from category where cat_id='{$data['cat_id']}'");
    $row = $query->first_row();

    if(trim($data['cat_id'])!="" && $row->cnt==0)
        $this->db->insert('category', $data);
}
function insertcsv($data)
{

    $query = $this->db->query("select count(*) cnt from sub_category where sub_cat_id='{$data['sub_cat_id']}'");
    $row = $query->first_row();

    if(trim($data['sub_cat_id'])!="" && $row->cnt==0)   
        $this->db->insert('sub_category',$data);
