Guest Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 basically i'm having a problem doing a compound search of some results[code]$newtablequery = mysql_query($newtable); //while ($row = mysql_query($titlequery)) { echo mysql_num_rows($titleresult); //$titlerow = mysql_fetch_row($titleresult); while($rs = mysql_fetch_array($titleresult)) { echo $rs; $insertsearch = ("INSERT into search values ('$rs[0]','$rs[1]','$rs[2]','$rs[3]','$rs[4]','$rs[5]','$rs[6]','$rs[7]','$rs[8]','$rs[9]','$rs[10]') "); $insertquery = mysql_query($insertsearch); }[/code]i'm trying to insert the results from a search into a new table, but it only inserts 3 records even though it says there are ten rows and it cycles 10 times throughthe loop.You have to bear with me, i've only just started with php this week :) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/6167-strange-insert-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 there's a possibility that some types of data being read from one table can't be put directly into the other, possibly due to quotes, etc.change this line:[code]$insertquery = mysql_query($insertsearch) or die(mysql_error());[/code]and see if you get an error Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/6167-strange-insert-problem/#findComment-22254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
