title: Best way to avoid duplicate entry into mysql database
body: <p>I have a table with 3 columns - id (pk), pageId (fk), name. I have a php script which dumps about 5000 records into the table, with about half being duplicates, with same pageId and name. Combination of pageId and name should be unique. What is the best way to prevent duplicates being saved to the table as I loop through the script in php?</p>
