Answer 1

INSERT INTO outbox (id,phone_number,text)
SELECT id,phone,'I LOVE YOU'
FROM contacts
WHERE group_name = 'member'

Answer 2

You need to use the INSERT...SELECT statement in your query. And also use PDO extention for this.
Example:
<?php
$sqlStatement = "INSERT INTO outbox (id, phone_number, text)
SELECT id, phone, ?
FROM contacts
WHERE group_name = ?";
$text = "I LOVE YOU";
$group_name = "member";
$stmt = $dbh->prepare($sqlStatement);
$stmt->bindParam(1, $text);
$stmt->bindParam(2, $group_name);
$stmt->execute();
?>
Remember to always sanitize your inputs.
