This should do it. Save it in a file then run it like "perl newfile.pl".
Save the output into a text file, then run it against your database.
$records = 100;
for ($i=1;$i<=$records;$i++) {
print "INSERT INTO MyTable (forumid, styleid, title, title_clean, " .
"description, description_clean, options) VALUES\n";
print "($i, 888, 'title $i', 'clean title $i', 'description $i', " .
"'clean description $i', 999);\n"
}
so:
perl newfile.pl > test_records.sql
mysql -p mydatabase < test_records.sql
