Question

I have a table \"test\" with an auto incremented id and an arbitrary number of columns.

I want to make a copy of a row in this table with all columns th

Answer 1

THIS WORKS FOR DUPLICATING ONE ROW ONLY

• Select your ONE row from your table
• Fetch all associative
• unset the ID row (Unique Index key)
• Implode the array[0] keys into the column names
• Implode the array[0] values into the column values
• Run the query

The code:

 $qrystr = "SELECT * FROM mytablename  WHERE id= " . $rowid;
 $qryresult = $this->connection->query($qrystr);
 $result = $qryresult->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
 unset($result[0]['id']); //Remove ID from array
 $qrystr = " INSERT INTO mytablename";
 $qrystr .= " ( " .implode(", ",array_keys($result[0])).") ";
 $qrystr .= " VALUES ('".implode("', '",array_values($result[0])). "')";
 $result = $this->connection->query($qrystr);
 return $result;

Of course you should use PDO:bindparam and check your variables against attack, etc but gives the example

additional info

If you have a problem with handling NULL values, you can use following codes so that imploding names and values only for whose value is not NULL.

foreach ($result[0] as $index => $value) {
    if ($value === null) unset($result[0][$index]);
}
