How to check if MySQL table is empty or not when I reload page PHP
Question
I work on a CRUD PHP page and everything works perfectly. The data that I take is from JSON url ( https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/ ).
How can I check and populate MySQL table if is empty every time when i load my index page.
This my PHP code how I connect to database. And function to inset JSON data to MySQL(I'm not sure that works correctly) :
class Database
{
private $db_host;
private $db_name;
private $db_username;
private $db_password;
public function dbConnection()
{
$this->db_host = 'localhost';
$this->db_name = 'items';
$this->db_username = 'root';
$this->db_password = '';
try {
$conn = new PDO('mysql:host=' . $this->db_host . ';dbname=' . $this->db_name, $this->db_username, $this->db_password);
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
return $conn;
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection error " . $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
}
}
Function getDati() that works correctly and returns array with 200 objects
function getDati()
{
$url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/';
$cURL = curl_init();
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Accept: application/json'
));
$result = curl_exec($cURL);
curl_close($cURL);
$all_items = json_decode($result);
return $all_items;
}
function intoDB()
{
$database = new Database;
$db = $database->dbConnection();
$all_items = getDati();
$sql = "SELECT count(*) FROM posts ";
$result = $db->prepare($sql);
$result->execute();
$number_of_rows = $result->fetchColumn();
if ($number_of_rows <= 0) {
foreach ($all_items as $k => $item) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO posts (id, userId, title, completed) VALUES (?,?,?,?)";
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute([$item->id, $item->userId, $item->title, $item->completed]);
}
}
}

<?php
require_once 'process.php';
intoDB(); // this is where i call the function.
It should be IF that will check if table is full or empty but I donk know how to do that.
When I recall intoDB() nothing happens. MySQL table remain empty. I want to check every time when I reload or open index page that my MySQL table is populated and if it is empty to populate it. Any suggestion how to do that? Thanks in advance!

When selecting count(*) , one row is returned, which contains the count so the response will be something like ['count(*)' => 0].
$number_of_rows = $result->fetchColumn(); // This contains 1 row, with the column indicating the count and so your condition will never be executed
Rather alias the column SELECT count(*) as total_posts FROM posts
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); // Fetch the first row
$total_posts = $row['total_posts']; // Get the column containing the result of the count
// Run your condition $total_posts
