User writes a series of tags (, separated) and posts the form.
I build an array containing the tags and delete dupes with array_unique() php function.

I'm thinking of doing:

  • go through the array with foreach($newarray as $item) { ... }
  • check each $item for existence in the tags mySQL table
  • if item does not exists, insert into tags table

Is there a FASTER or MORE OPTIMUM way for doing this?
