Pull info from one table and insert it in another?

Hello, I am new to phpNuke coding, currently trying to pull the info from one table and insert it into another table. Is this possible?

Code:

sql_query("select name, url, description, image, hits, type from ".$prefix."_affiliates_validate where afid='$afid'", $dbi);

sql_query("insert into ".$prefix."_affiliates values(NULL, '$name', '$url', '$description', '$image', '$hits', '$type')", $dbi);

Is one of the various codes that I have tried, it pulls in part of it but not all of it, can anyone help me with this?

When you say it pulls in parts and not all, can you be more descriptive?

With that code, the first time I clicked the approve link it actually pulled it all, every time after that it would only pull the $type value.

I mess around with it some more, looking over vairous pages of code and threw together this and so far its working, although I am not sure that it is correctly written.

Code:

function SAffiliatesAprove($afid, $name, $url, $description, $image, $hits, $type, $email) {
global $prefix, $dbi;
$result = sql_query("select name, url, description, image, hits, type from ".$prefix."_affiliates_validate", $dbi);
while(list($name, $url, $description, $image, $hits, $type) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi))
sql_query("insert into ".$prefix."_affiliates values(NULL, '$name', '$url', '$description', '$image', '$hits', '$type')", $dbi);
sql_query("delete from ".$prefix."_affiliates_validate where afid='$afid'", $dbi);
Header("Location: admin.php?op=AffiliatesAdmin");
}

So to sum it up, I have a link set to "Approve" and when called on it reads the values in the affiliates_validate table, and then writes them to the affiliates table, and then drops the original line in the affiliates_validate table. Does this look proper to you?

Well, I would offer up 2 suggestions. First of all I would not delete w/o checking for a successful insert and secondly, add an exit(); statement after the header statement.
