php sql insert multiple

Question

Im trying to convert data from one table to another, from the ITEMS_VEHICLES table to the VEHICLES table. My code is this:

$sql_result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM items_vehicles", $db); 
while ($rs = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
    if ($rs[motorbike] > 0) { mysql_query("INSERT INTO vehicles (type, player, hp) VALUES('1', '$rs[player]', '50')"); }
    if ($rs[banger] > 0) { mysql_query("INSERT INTO vehicles (type, player, hp) VALUES('2', '$rs[player]', '50')"); 
}

etc

But the $rs[motorbike] and other fields i want them to insert that code the amount of times in that column. Example, if $rs[motorbike] was '5', I want that insert query ran 5 times.

I'm in a bind, not sure how to do it.

Answer 1

Judging by your explanation, something like this:

$sql_result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM items_vehicles", $db); 
while ($rs = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
    for ($i = 1; $i <= $rs['motorbike']; $i++) { 
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO vehicles (type, player, hp) VALUES('1', '$rs[player]', '50')"); 
    }
    for ($i = 1; $i <= $rs['banger']; $i++) { 
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO vehicles (type, player, hp) VALUES('2', '$rs[player]', '50')");    
    }
    etc
}

Answer 2

用一个运行x次的for循环替换你的if语句，其中x是$rs['motorbike']的大小。
