将多个值插入mysql数据库表

Question

I will use images to explain what i am trying to accomplish. I am trying to insert Values in a table inputted in a box in any order.

Lets say the name of your website is your Website.com

The website lets you input values so that they can be summed up for data analysis like the image below.

Your PHP code looking like this:-

    <input  type="number"  name="Box1"></input>
    <input  type="number"  name="Box2"></input>
    <input  type="number"  name="Box3"></input>
    <input  type="number"  name="Box4"></input>

Lets further say that your MySQL table in your database looks something like the image below.

The names in the database are 1,2,3...8 as showed above.

Lets say for Example , the numbers 4,5,6,1 are inputted into the boxes on your site like the image below:

Let also assume that it does not matter how the numbers are entered. The results should be like the image below in your database table

Lets add more numbers for Example 8,5,2,7 and it does not matter how they are inputted

After the numbers are added, your MySQL database table should look as follows

This is what i am trying to achieve. Having the table auto increment the entered values could also be nice but i figured it might be harder.

If the table could auto increment, the the MYSQL table will look something like the image below

I need help knowing how to achieve any of the end results. Any help will be greatly appreciated .

Sorry for the long story, i just wanted to explain what i wanted to do as basic as i could.

Answer 1

I recommend a different database layout that allows for easier growth of allowed values, easier inserting and easier selection:

CREATE TABLE results (
  number INT(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  amount INT(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT 1
);

You can easily insert and update the amounts then using the MySQL specific ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE :

INSERT INTO results (number)
VALUES (1), (3), (3), (7)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE amount = amount + 1;
