Question

I have a scripts that retrieves huge data on a table. I want to create a mysqldump to insert data into another database table with different fields. I want the format of phpMyAdmin where it repeats the INSERT INTO Table VALUES(values1),(values2), …(values100); if reaches certain amount of value sets depends on what you set.

ex: If I have 550 data sets and i want to be devided the data by 100 so that i will have 6 sets of INSERT INTO query.

INSERT INTO tablename VALUES(value1), (value2), .... (value100);
INSERT INTO tablename VALUES(value101), (value102), .... (value200);
INSERT INTO tablename VALUES(value201), (value202), .... (value300);
INSERT INTO tablename VALUES(value301), (value302), .... (value400);
INSERT INTO tablename VALUES(value401), (value402), .... (value500);
INSERT INTO tablename VALUES(value501), (value502), .... (value550);

Answer 1

You could use array_chunk(), something like:

$toInsert = array( '(values1)', '(values2)', '(values3)', '(values4)' ); //etc.

$sqlStart = 'INSERT INTO tablename (field1, field2, field3, etc) VALUES ';
foreach (array_chunk($toInsert, 100) as $insertSet) {
    $sql = $sqlStart . implode(', ', $insertSet);
    //execute $sql
}

Are you actually doing much with the data though? You might be able to do it all in SQL with INSERT INTO table (field1, field2) SELECT somefield, somefield2 FROM another table
