MySQL INSERT from a SELECT with PDO

I’ve historically used the mysql_* style of connecting to mysql via php and am finally making the trek over to PDO. In the past I’ve like to use mysql’s INSERT INTO... SELECT... to insert data. The benefit being that I could add columns to a table at a later time without completely hosing all other forms that interact with that table. My question is quite simply. . . is there a PDO equivalent to this?

I’m not having much luck using the old syntax in a prepared statement nor do I see any examples using this format. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

The queries don’t change. You can use things like:

$postUser = $_POST["user_name"];
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM user WHERE userName = :postUser");
$stmt->bindParam(':postUser', $postUser);
$stmt->execute();
