Move with php one row to another in database tables - php

Question

i'm using php to make some mods on my database, i have two identical tables and i want to move one row from the first table to the second one how can i do that using pure php and mysql.
that is how my tables looks like
CREATE TABLE users (
username varchar(30) primary key,
password varchar(32),
userid varchar(32),
userlevel tinyint(1) unsigned not null,
email varchar(50),
timestamp int(11) unsigned not null
);
and here is my php code so far
function procMoveUser(){
global $session, $database, $form;
/* Username error checking */
$subuser = $this->checkUsername("user");
/* Errors exist, have user correct them */
if($form->num_errors > 0){
$_SESSION['value_array'] = $_POST;
$_SESSION['error_array'] = $form->getErrorArray();
header("Location: ".$session->referrer);
}
/* move the user */
else{
$q = "SELECT * FROM ".TBL_USERS." WHERE username = '$subuser'";
$result = $database->query($q);
if($result && $result->num_rows == 1){
while($array = $result->fetch_assoc() ){
$second_query = "INSERT INTO".TBL_USERSDONT."VALUES ($array['user'], $array['password'], $array['userid'] , $array['userlevel'] , $array['email'] , $array['timestamp'])";
$second_result = $mysqli->query($second_query);
if($second_result){
// it worked!
$q = "DELETE FROM ".TBL_USERS." WHERE username = '$subuser'";
$database->query($q);
}
}
}
}
}

Answer 1

First, SELECT * FROM the first table for the row that you want to move. Then, as suggested above, run an INSERT statement with the values from the first table.
$q = "SELECT * FROM ".TBL_USERS." WHERE username = '$username'";
$result = $mysqli->query($q);
if($result && $result->num_rows == 1){
while($array = $result->fetch_assoc() ){
$second_query = "INSERT INTO second_table VALUES ($array['user'], $array['something'])";
$second_result = $mysqli->query($second_query);
if($second_result){
// it worked!
}
}
}
