Hello List.

I have a sql command that counts, groups and sorts data from a table. I need to insert the results of that sql command into different table.

My sql SELECT looks like  this:

select count(*) as count, searchkeywords from searchtable group by searchkeywords order by count desc;

and returns records like this:

578     green
254     blue
253     red
253     yellow
118     orange
.... etc.

My PHP looks like this so far:

$sql = "select count(*) as count, searchkeywords from searchtable group by searchkeywords order by count desc"; $result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die("Couldn't execute checkcat query");
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo $num;


The echo is of course returning the total number of records.... not data as listed above.

I know a WHILE statement is to be used here, but can't get it to work.

How do I loop through the above found data, inserting each value as like this:

insert into mytable (count, color) values ("578", "green");
insert into mytable (count, color) values ("254", "blue");
...etc



Thanks,


 --Rick
