Helper function for insert and replace.

Runs an insert or replace query based on $type argument.

• wpdb::prepare()
• wpdb::$field_types
• wp_set_wpdb_vars()

$table string Required

Table name.

$data array Required

Data to insert (in column => value pairs).
Both $data columns and $data values should be "raw" (neither should be SQL escaped).
Sending a null value will cause the column to be set to NULL - the corresponding format is ignored in this case.

$format array|string Optional

An array of formats to be mapped to each of the value in $data.
If string, that format will be used for all of the values in $data.
A format is one of '%d', '%f', '%s' (integer, float, string).
If omitted, all values in $data will be treated as strings unless otherwise specified in wpdb::$field_types.

Default: null

$type string Optional

Type of operation. Possible values include 'INSERT' or 'REPLACE'.
Default 'INSERT'.

Default: 'INSERT'

int|false The number of rows affected, or false on error.
