This is my first time I am trying to make something seriously with relational db in MySQL and some kind of CMS created in PHP with CodeIgniter.
I came to the part where I have to insert some data in few many-to-many related tables.
In my code everything works fine (well, with just few minutes of testing), but I need some help with creating reusable function which will help me a lot to make all relations in my tables...

<?php
function add(){
// This is what user posted in form.
// There are two input fields:
// name is always only one record
// country can be a single record or array separated with " | " characters
// I use CodeIgniter's $this->input->post instead of $_POST[]
$name = $this->input->post('name');
$countries = $this->input->post('country');
// Inserting data to first table
$data = array('firstName' => htmlentities($name)); // preparing array for inserting
$insert_name = $this->db->insert('names', $data); // inserting with CodeIgniter's help
$last_inserted_ID = $this->db->insert_id(); // getting last inserted ID
// Inserting data to second table
// Formatting of posted string of countries
// Users can post strings similar to this:
// "Austria"
// "Austria |"
// "Austria | "
// "Austria | Australia"
// "Austria | Australia |"
// "Austria | Australia | "
// and similar variations
// What I need here is clear array with country names
$separator = strpos($countries,"|"); // check for "|" character
if ($separator === FALSE){ // if there is no "|" character in string
$countries_array[] = $countries; // array is only one value (only one country)
} else {
$countries_array = explode(" | ", $countries); // explode my array
if (end($countries_array) == ""){ // if last item in array is ""
array_pop($countries_array); // eliminate last (empty) item
}
}
// Now, this is the part I think I will use lots of times.
// I would like to make this a separate function so I could use it in many places :)
// I would pass to that function few values and I would use one of them
// to call different functions in this same class.
// I guess I should pass data ($countries_array) and function names I wish to call?????? This is problematic part for my brain :))
// Check the comments below...
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($countries_array); $i++){
$insertIDS = array(); // this will be an array of IDs of all countries
$tempdata = $this->get_countries($countries_array[$i]); // query which looks if there is a country with specific name
// Right here, instead of calling $this->get_countries
// I would like to call different functions, for example
// $this->get_links($links_array[$i])
// or $this->get_categories($categories_array[$i])
// etc.
if(sizeof($tempdata) != 0){ // so, if a record already exists
foreach ($tempdata as $k => $v){
$insertIDS[] = $k; // insert those IDs in our array
}
} else { // and if a record does not exist in db
$this->add_country($countries_array[$i]); // add it as a new record...
// This is also one of the places where I would call different functions
// for example $this->add_link($links_array[$i])
// or $this->add_categories($categories_array[$i])
// etc.
$insertIDS[] = $this->db->insert_id(); // ...get its ID and add it to array
}
// Finally, insert all IDs into junction table!
foreach ($insertIDS as $idKey => $idValue){
$this->add_names_countries($last_inserted_ID, $idValue); // Another place for calling different functions
// example $this->add_names_links($last_inserted_ID, $idValue)
// etc.
}
}
}

Peki, şimdi bu kodu bakıyor, ben bu işlevi de bu biçimlendirme parçası koymak olabilir görmek, ama şu anda o kadar önemli değil ...
Bu herhangi bir yardım için size çok çok teşekkür ederim!
