Insert query using foreach - codeigniter-3

Question

I'm trying to generate a statement sheet. For that, I try to insert data into Mysql using foreach. It works great. But I try to escape the insert query if any duplicate row found in database. I do not want to escape the whole process, but it should escape if a duplicate row found and continue with the next insert query.
$gps = $this->Webmastermodel->acquireStatementDetail();
foreach($gps as $statement){
$insertdata = array(
'product_invoice_id' => $statement['InvoiceNo'],
'PUC' => $statement['productPUC'],
'productQTY' => $statement['productQty'],
'product_sub_total' => $statement['productSubTotal'],
'commissionGain_on_SubTotal' => $statement['commisionChargedOnProductSubTotal']
);
$this->db->insert('partner_business', $insertdata);
}

Answer 1

I would use insert_batch if i were you:
$insertdata = array();
foreach($gps as $statement)
{
$insertdata[] = array(
'product_invoice_id' => $statement['InvoiceNo'],
'PUC' => $statement['productPUC'],
'productQTY' => $statement['productQty'],
'product_sub_total' => $statement['productSubTotal'],
'commissionGain_on_SubTotal' => $statement['commisionChargedOnProductSubTotal']
);
}
$this->db->insert_batch('partner_business', $insertdata);
But since your question is about skipping if a row already exits, you can modify your query and use replace instead:
$this->db->replace('partner_business', $insertdata);
Keeping in mind that its all about providing the right primary_key in your $data array, if there is and existing id it will update its data else it will insert a new row.
