Question

I have generated a JSON file and it is formatted correctly, the same way as I have export it from my MySQL database. Now I need to put it back:-)

I would like to read up on how to do this, so if there is a good link, I welcome it. I have used the phrase

php – script to import JSON file into MySQL database

in Google and others like it, but I having no luck.
Also if I import a file and the record already exists, how do I deal with duplicate issues? Can I make it so that it overwrites automatically?

I am uploading it from an iOS app, so I do not see the php file at work.

You can use json_decode

json_decode($json_from_ios_app, true)

json_decode will return associated array. Based from this structure, construct SQL queries.
