INSERT with SELECT

Question

I have a query that inserts using a select:

INSERT INTO courses (name, location, gid) 
            SELECT name, location, gid 
              FROM courses 
           


        

Answer 1

The right Syntax for your query is:

INSERT INTO courses (name, location, gid) 
SELECT (name, location, gid) 
FROM courses 
WHERE cid = $cid
