Error:

LainaaDuplicate entry '501' for key 1

Code with Error:

global $smcFunc, $db_prefix;

$category = 501;

// ----- Do not chnage any settings below -----

$cats = array();

$result = $smcFunc['db_query']('', "
SELECT id
FROM {db_prefix}shop_categories", array());

$row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($result);

$smcFunc['db_free_result']($result);


if ($row != $category)
{
$smcFunc['db_insert']('insert', '{db_prefix}shop_categories',
array('name' => 'string', 'id' => 'int', 'count' => 'int'),
array('name' => 'Companions', 'id' => $category, 'count' => '12'),
array('name' => 'id', 'type' => 'primary', 'columns' => array('id') ));
}


Note: sometimes the category 501 will exist sometimes not (admin choice). So I want to add the category if it does not exist and if it does I want to ignore adding the category. I expect the answer is very, very simple and so I can't see it.

You can choose to:
['db_insert']('insert') --> inserts a new record and demands unique register, the error you're having
['db_insert']('replace') --> will replace the existing register if it exists, insert it if not (careful, the replacement is actually a delete + insert, meaning it will get a new id)
['db_insert']('ignore') --> will insert the register if it doesn't exist, ignore the request if it does

(not totally sure, actually :P I was just looking through code and google)

Thats what I needed- ['db_insert']('ignore') knew it was something simple.

Thanks margarett

Also that if ($row != $category) is not right
You should be checking for an exact id in your last sql statement then check $row['id']

Finished Version. Feel free to look it over and point out any mistakes.

You have a typo :P

Lainaa// ----- Do not chnage any settings below -----

typo fixed. Does anybody have a idea how to streamline the code any?

You are doing two inserts. There's nothing to streamline really.

Thanks IchBin

just checking - there is always room for improvement.
