Example:
$simple = "select count(*) as count, searchkeywords from searchtable group
by searchkeywords order by count desc";
$stuff = mysql_query($simple);
If(mysql_num_rows($stuff) >= 1)
{
While($toarray = mysql_fetch_assoc($stuff))
{
$doit = mysql_query("INSERT INTO mytable (count, color) values
('$toarray[count]', '$toarray[searchkeywords]')");
Echo mysql_error();
}
}
I am not sure why, don't care. Here is a very simple pull from this table
insert into this table with the looped data.

Personally I'll get MySQL to do it for me using: insert into mytable (count,
color) select count(*) as count, searchkeywords from searchtable group by
searchkeywords order by count desc (see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/insert-select.html for more
information on INSERT ... SELECT)
Otherwise, you'll want to use mysql_fetch_assoc($result). Examples and
information can be found at http://php.net/mysql_fetch_assoc
