Question

Though there are some same questions here, still I want to post my own question as I think I made a solution, but it’s not working. Here is the following code:

$i=1;
while ( $i<= 10) 
{
    $i++;
    $sql    =   "INSERT INTO job (Category, Title, Type) VALUES ('$_POST[cat]','$_POST[title]','$_POST[type]')";
}

Shouldn’t it insert 10 data one by one? But it just inserts 1 data. Why is this happening?

Answer 1

See that you’re constructing exactly the same sql string every iteration.
Your code should be:

 $i=1;
 while ( $i<= 10)
 {
    $i++;
    $sql = "INSERT INTO job (Category, Title, Type)
                 VALUES ('{$_POST[cat]}','{$_POST[title]}','{$_POST[type]}')";
    mysql_query($sql);
 }

Pay attention to the []
