Insert API - Medoo

Version: v2.4.0

insert

Insert one or more records into a table.

insert($table, $values)

table [string]
The name of the table.
values [array]
The data to be inserted.

Return Value

[PDOStatement] The PDOStatement instance for the executed query.

$database->insert("account", [
	"user_name" => "foo",
	"email" => "foo@bar.com",
	"age" => 25
]);

Last Insert ID

To get the inserted row ID, call id() after insert().

$database->insert("account", [
	"user_name" => "foo",
	"email" => "foo@bar.com",
	"age" => 25
]);

$account_id = $database->id();

For Oracle, provide the primary key as the third parameter of insert().

$database->insert("ACCOUNT", [
	"NAME" => "foo"
], "ID");

$account_id = $database->id();

Array Serialization

By default, array values are serialized with serialize() before insertion. You can use [JSON] to store them with json_encode() instead.

$database->insert("account", [
	"user_name" => "foo",
	"email" => "foo@bar.com",
	"age" => 25,
	"lang" => ["en", "fr", "jp", "cn"] // => \'a:4:{i:0;s:2:"en";i:1;s:2:"fr";i:2;s:2:"jp";i:3;s:2:"cn";}\'
]);

$database->insert("account", [
	"user_name" => "foo",
	"email" => "foo@bar.com",
	"age" => 25,
	"lang [JSON]" => ["en", "fr", "jp", "cn"] // => \'["en","fr","jp","cn"]\'
]);

Type Auto-Detection

Medoo automatically detects and binds data types before insertion for safer and more efficient writes.

class Foo {
	var $bar = "cat";

	public function __wakeup()
	{
		$this->bar = "dog";
	}
}

$object_data = new Foo();

$fp = fopen($_FILES[ "file" ][ "tmp_name" ], "rb");

$database->insert("account", [
	// String value.
	"user_name" => "foo",

	// Integer value.
	"age" => 25,

	// Boolean value.
	"is_locked" => true,

	// Array value.
	"lang" => ["en", "fr", "jp", "cn"],

	// Array value encoded as JSON.
	"lang [JSON]" => ["en", "fr", "jp", "cn"],

	// Object value.
	"object_data" => $object_data,

	// Large Objects (LOBs).
	"image" => $fp
]);

Multi-Insertion

You can also insert multiple rows in a single call.

$database->insert("account", [
	[
		"user_name" => "foo",
		"email" => "foo@bar.com",
		"age" => 25,
		"city" => "New York",
		"lang [JSON]" => ["en", "fr", "jp", "cn"]
	],
	[
		"user_name" => "bar",
		"email" => "bar@foo.com",
		"age" => 14,
		"city" => "Hong Kong",
		"lang [JSON]" => ["en", "jp", "cn"]
	]
]);

PDOStatement

insert() returns a PDOStatement object, so you can call PDOStatement methods for additional details.

$data = $database->insert("account", [
	"user_name" => "foo",
	"email" => "foo@bar.com",
	"age" => 25
]);

// Returns the number of rows affected by the last SQL statement
echo $data->rowCount();

// Reference: https://php.net/manual/en/class.pdostatement.php

Using SQL Functions

You can use SQL functions through the raw object for advanced use cases. Read more at https://medoo.in/api/raw.

$database->insert("account", [
	"user_name" => "bar",
	"uid" => Medoo::raw("UUID()")
]);
