How to insert data in SQLite table using php?

Question

I am working on a php code as shown below which scans the directory ($src_dir) and list all mp4 files.

$src_dir = ('\\\ABCD-ST-001\Audio_Test\podcast\incoming_folder'); 

$mp4_files = preg_grep('~\.(mp4)$~', scandir($src_dir));

print_r(array_values($mp4_files));  // LineA

Here is the O/P obtained from Line#A :

Array ( [0] => 36031P.mp4 [1] => hello.mp4 )

I am getting two values at Index 0 and Index 1 . The 1st is 36031P.mp4 and 2nd is hello.mp4

After that I have wrote a script which insert data in table Podcast_Export .

$db->exec("INSERT INTO Podcast_Export ('House#', 'Status') VALUES ('array_values($mp4_files)', 'Go')");   /* have to place this question on SO*/

On running the above script, I am getting the following data inside the table which is not I want.

array_values(Array) Go
array_values(Array) Go

Problem Statement:

I am wondering what changes I should make in the script above so that it inserts the following data inside the table:

36031   Go
hello   Go

Answer 1

You are inserting a string value 'array_values($mp4_files)' , you just need to remove quotes around this value. something like:

$db->exec("INSERT INTO Podcast_Export ('House#', 'Status') VALUES (array_values($mp4_files), 'Go')");

But, if you delete the quotes around array_values then it will insert following array as a string Array ( [0] => 36031P.mp4 [1] => hello.mp4 )

so, its better to use loop here with $mp4_files array and insert your data.

Side Note:

I suggest you to use different name for House# column something like house_no .
