You need:[!--sql--][div class=\'sqltop\']SQL[/div][div class=\'sqlmain\'][!--sql1--][span style=\'color:blue;font-weight:bold\']INSERT[/span] [color=green]INTO[/color] [color=orange]`emails`[/color] (email, name)
[span style=\'color:blue;font-weight:bold\']SELECT[/span] `emailaddress`, `firstname` [color=green]FROM[/color] [color=orange]`newsletter`;[/color] [!--sql2--][/div][!--sql3--]That will insert the firstname and emailaddress from each row in the newsletter table into a new row in the emails table.

you have to do it this way however:

[code]
INSERT INTO `emails` (email, name) VALUES ((SELECT `emailaddress`, `firstname` FROM `newsletter` WHERE `id` = '$id'), (SELECT `emailaddress`, `firstname` FROM `newsletter` WHERE `id` = '$id')) WHERE `id` = '$id'
[/code]

assuming you want to copy accross the values. the selected rows will have to be single rows and single results within VALUES ()

Actually, that's not necessary. My method will work perfectly. SQL will insert each row returned by the SELECT statement (as long as the column names match up, which they do in my example), so it doesn't need to return single rows within VALUES(). In fact, VALUES is not needed at all.
