How to submit row from one table to another using php, msqli - php

Question

I have the following php search script.
<?php
$query = $_GET['query'];
// gets value sent over search form
$min_length = 3;
// you can set minimum length of the query if you want
if(strlen($query) >= $min_length){ // if query length is more or equal minimum length then
$query = htmlspecialchars($query);
// changes characters used in html to their equivalents, for example: < to >
$query = mysql_real_escape_string($query);
// makes sure nobody uses SQL injection
$raw_results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM florinvtable
WHERE (`Brand` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`Description` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`Category` LIKE '%".$query."%')
ORDER BY Category, Brand, Price") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($raw_results) > 0){ // if one or more rows are returned do following
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){
// $results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results) puts data from database into array, while it's valid it does the loop
echo "<div style='position:relative; font-size:18px; width:500px;'><span style='font-size:14px'>".$results['Category']."</span> - <strong>".$results['Brand']."</strong> - ".$results['Description']." - <span style='color:red;'>$".$results['Price']."</span> ".$results['Size']."</div>";
// posts results gotten from database(title and text) you can also show id ($results['id'])
}
}
else{ // if there is no matching rows do following
echo "No results";
}
}
else{ // if query length is less than minimum
echo "Minimum length is ".$min_length;
}
?>
I would like to incorporate a submit button for each row displayed that I can click on to copy a row to an identical separate table. You might ask, why maintain two identical tables? The answer is the original table is frequently truncated. That said, how would I incorporate a submit button into the above script using the script below.
<?php
$query = "INSERT INTO floradtable (Category, Brand, Price)
SELECT Category, Brand, Price FROM florinvtable
WHERE id='".$mysqli->real_escape_string($_REQUEST['id'])."'
LIMIT 0,1";
$mysqli->query($query);
?>
As a side note, I know I am mixing mysql with mysqli which I will address after I work out a solution for the current problem. Any help is appreciated.

Add this.
if(mysql_num_rows($raw_results) > 0){ // if one or more rows are returned do following
$query = "INSERT INTO floradtable (Category, Brand, Price) VALUES";
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){
// $results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results) puts data from database into array, while it's valid it does the loop
$query .= "('".$results['Category']."','".$results['Brand']."','".$results['Price']."'),";
echo "<div style='position:relative; font-size:18px; width:500px;'><span style='font-size:14px'>".$results['Category']."</span> - <strong>".$results['Brand']."</strong> - ".$results['Description']." - <span style='color:red;'>$".$results['Price']."</span> ".$results['Size']."</div>";
// posts results gotten from database(title and text) you can also show id ($results['id'])
}
$query = substr($query, 0, -1);//to remove the trailing comma
$mysqli->query($query);
}
