Note: This question is posted here
hello everybody,

I have a predefind list of 15 keywords and there is mysql table against each keyword. Now what i want to do is that
first i want to check a keyword and then insert it into the relevant table. This process continue agian and again under foreach
loop.
My question is what kind of approach should i used i.e is it with if else statements, like

foreach($keyword as $key=>$val)
{
  if($val==='keyword1'
   {
     $query="insert into keyword1_tab values('', $val);
     $rs=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
   }
   else
      if($val==='keyword2')
       {
         $query="insert into keyword2_tab values('', $val);
         $rs=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
       }
     else
       .
       .
       .
       .
       .
      else
       if($val==='keyword15')
       {
       $query="insert into keyword3_tab values('', $val);
       $rs=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
       }
}

Or something else is used for this which can maintain the speed and consistency.

Answer 1

$tables = array('keyword1' => 'keyword1_tab', 'keyword2' => 'keyword2_tab' ...);

foreach($keyword as $key=>$val)
{
    if (isset($tables[$val]))
    {
        $query="insert into `".$tables[$val]."` values('', '".$val."')";
        $rs = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
    }
}
