How to do multiple queries to SQL

Question

I am trying to create a table and , insert some values in database with help of PHP script. While inserting only 1 row , it works fine. An when I try to enter more number of row

Answer 1

Use mysqli_multi_query instead of mysqli_query, that should do it.

$query = mysqli_multi_query($db_conx,$sqlCommand) or die(mysqli_error($db_conx));

http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.multi-query.php

Answer 2

An easier approach could be to split the string with ; and iterate of each query in the array. Execute all of them one by one..

$sqlCommandArray[]=explode(";",$sqlCommand);

for($i=0;$i<count($sqlCommandArray);$i++){
try{
  mysqli_query($db_conx,$sqlCommandArray[$i]);
} 
catch(Exception $ex){
  echo "there was an error in executing the queries";
}
}

This would do the job without any modifications.

 $query = mysqli_multi_query($db_conx,$sqlCommand);
