I'm learning PHP and Laravel has spoilt me. I have a project that isn't using Laravel and my basics are pretty lost.
I am grabbing a JSON array from a webpage and want to update each affected row. For the life of me, I can't understand why this isn't working (The JSON file is definitely being pick up):
$conn = new mysqli($env_db['hostname'], $env_db['username'], $env_db['password'], $env_db['database']);
// check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
exit('Connect failed: '. mysqli_connect_error());
}
// exp_matrix_data = matrix table
// col_id_24 = sku code
// col_id_26 = stock
foreach(json_decode($file, true) as $item)
{
$stock = $item['Stock'];
$sku = $item['SKU'];
$query = "UPDATE exp_matrix_data SET col_id_26=? WHERE col_id_24=?";
$statement = $conn->prepare($query);
//bind parameters for markers, where (s = string, i = integer, d = double, b = blob)
$results = $statement->bind_param('ss', $stock, $sku);
}
example json
[
{
Series: "01000",
SKU: "01000-1116",
Stock: "98",
id: 0
},
{
Series: "01000",
SKU: "01000-1132",
Stock: "0",
id: 1
},
{
Series: "01000",
SKU: "01000-116",
Stock: "1000",
id: 2
}
]
Any pointers as to why this isn't working properly? No rows are being updated.
Thanks for taking the time to help this newbie!
