I have a database with many columns that I would like to copy whole rows from to insert into a second table.

The structures between the two tables are the exact same.

I'd like to avoid having to specify every column name and column value.

I've adapted this code from other forum posts, but I can't get it to work for me. Am I doing something wrong?

$mysql_connect = mysql_connect(...);
mysql_select_db(...);
mysql_set_charset(...);

mysql_query("INSERT INTO table2 (SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE name = '".$name."' LIMIT 1)");

mysql_close($mysql_connect);
