If want to insert rows into a table based on data rows from other tables, you can use a sub-query inside the INSERT statement as shown in the following script example:
<?php
include "mysql_connection.php";
$sql = "INSERT INTO fyi_links"
. " SELECT id+1000, url, notes, counts, time FROM fyi_links";
if (mysql_query($sql, $con)) {
print(mysql_affected_rows() . " rows inserted.\n");
} else {
print("SQL statement failed.\n");
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
If you run this script, you will get something like this:
2 rows inserted.
