Question

I have two sql queries:

$query0=mysql_query("SELECT caseNumber FROM shipped_data WHERE palette='P0' AND shipInvoiceNumber='2011/229'");
$query1=mysql_query("SELECT caseNumber FROM shipped_data WHERE palette='P1' AND shipInvoiceNumber='2011/229'");

and using following php script to fetch data,

while($res0=mysql_fetch_array($query0))
{
    $r0=$res0['caseNumber'];
    $q0=mysql_query("INSERT INTO pallet  (P00) VALUES ('$r0')")or die("Error");
}
while($res1=mysql_fetch_array($query1))
{
    print  $r1=$res1['caseNumber'];
    $q1=mysql_query("INSERT INTO pallet  (P01) VALUES ('$r1')")or die("Error");
}

This is the result:

First query inserts rows 1-10 of the data for coloumn1
The second query inserts rows 11-20 of the data for coloumn2.

What I need is rows 1-10 to be also inserted in column2, instead of rows 11-20

How can I do this?

I might help you looking at your problem from a different point of view. You can also perform your needs without having to loop through the records. You can execute the following SQL queries with PHP, or – if you have the ability – put this in a Stored Procedure, and call that.

The following SQL does the same as your PHP script.

INSERT INTO pallet (P00) 
    SELECT caseNumber 
    FROM shipped_data 
    WHERE palette='P0' 
        AND shipInvoiceNumber='2011/229';

INSERT INTO pallet (P01) 
    SELECT caseNumber 
    FROM shipped_data 
    WHERE palette='P1' 
        AND shipInvoiceNumber='2011/229';
