I have the following if statement that works fine for an insert but I cannot seem to get it to only update the table with items that are not inserted:

Insert:

        for($i=0; $i<count($fields['Occupation']); $i++) {
            $id = $fields['Occupation'][$i];

           CMS::insertQuery("INSERT INTO {table} SET canid=?, categoryid=?", array($emailCheck['id'], $id));
        }
            echo 'found update';

I have tried the following update line with no luck.

CMS::updateQuery("UPDATE {refocus_candidate_category} SET canid=?, categoryid=? WHERE canid=? AND categoryid=?", array($emailCheck['id'], $id));

Full Statement:

$catParams = array_merge(array($emailCheck['id']), $fields['Occupation']);
$catPlaceholders = '?'.str_repeat(',?',count($fields['Occupation'])-1);

$catCheck = CMS::selectQuery("SELECT * FROM {table} WHERE canid=? AND categoryid IN (".$catPlaceholders.")", $catParams);

if($catCheck != FALSE)
{
    for($i=0; $i<count($fields['Occupation']); $i++) {
        $id = $fields['Occupation'][$i];

        CMS::updateQuery("UPDATE {table} SET canid=?, categoryid=? WHERE canid=? AND categoryid=?", array($emailCheck['id'], $id));
    }
        echo 'found update'l
}else{
    for($i=0; $i<count($fields['Occupation']); $i++) {
        $id = $fields['Occupation'][$i];

        CMS::insertQuery("INSERT INTO {table} SET canid=?, categoryid=?", array($emailCheck['id'], $id));
    }
    echo 'else insert';
}

    My guess you need something like following code:

    CMS::updateQuery("UPDATE {refocus_candidate_category} SET canid=?,
                      categoryid=? WHERE canid=? AND categoryid=?",
                      array($emailCheck['id'], $id, $emailCheck['id'], $id)
                    );
    

    Basically you need as many array elements as ? in your UPDATE statement
