Insert search result to another table

[jpergega]

Hi

I have a system that has two different types of users staff and student.

If I logged in as a staff I can search an existing students':(username, firstname and surname) then I want to copying the search result(a selected existing student account detail by click a button) into another database table.

Right now both users' details are store in one table called userAccount and there is a permission field in the table to distinguish the two.

My question is if I logged in as a staff and I want to copy a student's detail into another table in the mysql

What do I need to change and add in that new table then?

Many thanks
