Question

For some reason I am just dumb with arrays… I cannot figure them all the way out… All I want to do here is read a folder and get all the folder names inside of that folder and insert them into a mysql db. Now the db part isn’t my problem. Its handling this array. I did something similar in an earlier project, and now I cannot figure out how to modify it to work here.

<?php 
$main_folder = 'C:/Users/Oval Office/Music/'; 
$folders = glob($main_folder, GLOB_ONLYDIR); 

$artists_names = array(); 
foreach($folders as $folder){ 
    $artists_names[] = preg_split('/(.+)\s(\d+)/', str_replace($main_folder, '', $folder), -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE|PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);  
} 

$values = array(); 
foreach($artists_names as $pair){ 
    $values[] = "('".$pair[0]."')"; 
} 

$query = 'INSERT INTO artists (title) VALUES '.implode(',', $values); 
$result = mysql_query($query); 
echo ($result) ? 'Inserted successfully' : 'Failed to insert the values';
?> 

The Title Is Just Blank…

Thank you pekka for stearing me in the right direction, post it as a answer so I can give ya some rep.

Answer 1

I think the wild-card is missing.

Try this:

$main_folder = 'C:/Users/Oval Office/Music/*';
