Created TWO tables via plugin
-
I’m working on a personal voting plugin and I need to create 2 tables: one that stores votes and another that stores voter ips.
In Codex it suggests to use an if statement to see if the table has already been created when installing the plugin but how can I alter the code if I’m creating 2 tables?
This is my if statement in the plugin install function, currently set to check if 1 table already exists.
... $table_name1 = $wpdb->prefix . "voters_ip"; $table_name2 = $wpdb->prefix . "vote_posts"; $installed_ver = get_option( "postvote_version" ); if($wpdb->get_var("show tables like '$table_name'") != $table_name1) { //unsure how to add both tables $sql = "CREATE TABLE " . $table_name1 . " ( id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, vote_post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL, voter_ip varchar(100) NOT NULL, UNIQUE KEY id (id) );"; $sql = "CREATE TABLE " . $table_name2 . " ( id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, vote_post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL, up int(11) NOT NULL, ddown int(11) NOT NULL, UNIQUE KEY id (id) );"; require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php'); dbDelta($sql); add_option("postvote_version", $postvote_version); } ....
Can someone please share a correct way to check if both tables exist?
