Question

I’m trying to take parsed data and store it to a DB. With the way it is currently setup, it only stores the first item on the referenced website in the database. I need it to loop through and save each item to a row in the table. Where do I need to make modifications in my code?

<?php

include('simple_html_dom.php');
// Create DOM from URL
$html = file_get_html('http://www.hiddenurl.com/whatever/');

// Find all article blocks
foreach ($html->find('li.search-result') as $sitelisting)
    $con = mysql_connect("localhost", "admin", "mypasshere");
if (!$con) {
    die(mysql_error());
}

mysql_select_db("dataminer", $con);

$debugquery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO extract (listing) 
VALUES ('$sitelisting')");
if (!$debugquery) {
    die(mysql_error());
}

mysql_close($con);
?>

try this

<?php

include('simple_html_dom.php');
// Create DOM from URL
$html = file_get_html('http://www.hiddenurl.com/whatever/');

// Find all article blocks

$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "admin", "mypasshere");
mysql_select_db("dataminer", $con);
if (!$con) {
    die(mysql_error());
} else {
    foreach ($html->find('li.search-result') as $sitelisting) {

        $debugquery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO extract (listing) VALUES ('$sitelisting')");
        if (!$debugquery) {
            die(mysql_error());
        }
    }
}
mysql_close($con);
?>

EDIT:
for this ‘ use ‘
for this ’ use ’

EDIT2:

$debugquery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO extract (listing) VALUES ('".mysql_real_escape_string($sitelisting)."') ");
