Updating remote database table from local database table - php

Question

I want to update remote database from local database, I have written php script to do that but it is showing me fatal error.
Remote database and local database has same name, same table, same fields.
I have tried this way but its not working.
$tablename="pc_games";
$database = 'games';
$local_query = "SELECT * FROM $tablename LIMIT 100 OFFSET $remoterows";
$local_result = mysql_query($local_query, $connection) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
while($list=mysql_fetch_array($local_result))
{
$remote_update=mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tablename SETLECT * from $tablename");
$remote_update_result = mysql_query($remote_update, $remote_connection) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
}
Please see and suggest any possible approach to do this.

Answer 1

"INSERT INTO $tablename SETLECT * from $tablename"
This is an invalid SQL statement. SETLECT have to be SELECT

Answer 2

Your remote query has a syntax error: "INSERT INTO $tablename SETLECT * from $tablename". You mean SELECT instead of SETLECT.

Answer 3

Replacement code:
$tablename="pc_games";
$database = 'games';
$local_query = "SELECT * FROM $tablename LIMIT 100 OFFSET $remoterows";
$local_result = mysql_query($local_query, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
while($list=mysql_fetch_array($local_result))
{
$remote_update=mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tablename SELECT * from $tablename");
$remote_update_result = mysql_query($remote_update, $remote_connection) or die (mysql_error());
}
What you did wrong, was you mistyped this line:
$remote_update=mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tablename SETLECT * from $tablename");
Notice that you used SETLECT, instead of what you meant to use (perhaps): SELECT.
I also marvel at how long it takes to detect a typing error.
I changed all your error handlers to the ones I mentioned in the comments. Use them in the future. They're better.
UPDATE: What did you do with your code? I just realised something drastic:
$remote_update=mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tablename SELECT * from $tablename");
$remote_update_result = mysql_query($remote_update, $remote_connection) or die (mysql_error());
First of all, you're running mysql_query on a result. Second, you aren't inserting anything INSERT INTO $tablename. Is it my fault, or are you doing something dreadfully wrong?

Answer 4

Why are you looping through the results(with while($list=mysql_fetch_array($local_result))
) when you absolutely don't need it?
Why have you set the error function everywhere as: trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);.
Why are you still using mysql_* method for databases?
If you just need to insert data from another table, just put:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tablename SELECT * FROM $tablename LIMIT 100 OFFSET $remoterows") or die(mysql_error());
and be done with it.
