Copy multiple rows from one table to another, directly in MySQL? - php

Question

I am trying to copy values directly from one mysql table to another... but the trouble is, there are many rows to copy, so that sub-select statement will return many rows but the param :order_id is just written once.
Given that problem, I'm having trouble figuring out how to write this process:
# 1: Create new Order & Copy the cart basket to the Order basket
$order_id = addOrder($customer_id);
if ($order_id > -1) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_order_basket(order_id, product_id, product_name,
basket_qty, basket_price, subtotal)
VALUES (:order_id, (SELECT (cart.product_id, product.name,
cart.cart_qty, cart.cart_price, cart.subtotal)
FROM tbl_shopping_cart AS cart
INNER JOIN tbl_product AS product
ON cart.product_id = product.id
WHERE cart.php_sesskey = :session_id)
)
WHERE order_id=:order_id;";
}
Here is the data I'm trying to copy:
ORDER BASKET CART BASKET PRODUCTS
FK order_id FK php_sesskey
FK product_id <-- FK product_id === PK id
product_name <-- <-- name
basket_qty <-- cart_qty
basket_price <-- cart_price # <-- : copy to
subtotal <-- subtotal # === : join on
How should I go about doing this?
Note: I'm using PHP 5 and MySQL 5.5

Answer 1

Maybe you can use this one?
INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...
To create the query, first make a SELECT which gives you all the fields which you want to insert. Then prepend INSERT INTO <table> and you're done.

Answer 2

Look into SELECT INTO TABLE
INSERT INTO tbl_temp2 (fld_id)
SELECT tbl_temp1.fld_order_id
FROM tbl_temp1 WHERE tbl_temp1.fld_order_id > 100;

Answer 3

Try using the query below; this type of syntax has worked for me in the past. Since there is no WHERE in a MySQL INSERT statement (manual) I have removed that part. Also, do not use the VALUES keyword when doing an INSERT...SELECT (manual).
$sql = '
INSERT INTO tbl_order_basket(order_id, product_id, product_name,
basket_qty, basket_price, subtotal)
SELECT :order_id, cart.product_id, product.name,
cart.cart_qty, cart.cart_price, cart.subtotal
FROM tbl_shopping_cart AS cart
INNER JOIN tbl_product AS product
ON cart.product_id = product.id
WHERE cart.php_sesskey = :session_id)
';
