MySQL / PHP Not inserting correct amount of entries

Hopefully this will be quite simple for someone.

I have the following code:

    <?php
 // Connects to your Database 
 mysql_connect("localhost", "xxxxx", "xxxxx") or die(mysql_error()); 
 mysql_select_db("xxxxx") or die(mysql_error()); 

  require("../includes/common.php");
  require("admin_header.php");



  require("admin_menu.php");
 $query = "Truncate TABLE pt_menutitles"; 

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());


// Menu Headers for Category

$data = "select a.menuheader, a.total from(SELECT distinct (menuheader),count(*) as total FROM `pt_products` WHERE `menuheader` <> ''  group by `menuheader` order by total desc limit 4) a order by a.menuheader"; 

$result = mysql_query($data) or die(mysql_error());


while($info = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
  {

 $menudata = "select a.subcategory, a.menuheader,a.totcount FROM(SELECT distinct (subcategory),menuheader,count(*) as totcount FROM `pt_products` WHERE `menuheader`='".$info['menuheader']."' AND subcategory <> ''group by `subcategory` order by totcount desc limit 4) a order by a.subcategory"; 


$menuresult = mysql_query($menudata) or die(mysql_error());


 while($menuinfo = mysql_fetch_array($menuresult)) 

 { 


      $sql = "Insert into pt_menutitles (menu, title, totalcount) select '".$menuinfo['menuheader']."','".$menuinfo ['subcategory']."','".$menuinfo ['totcount']."'";

      $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());



  }

  }

  ?>

Basically I take the top 4 menu titles that have the most items in them, then select the top 4 subcategories in them titles and insert them into a table.

What is happening though is that i'm onlyt getting Menu Title 1 and Subcategories 1 to 4 inserted into my table.

It's as though the the loop is ending after the first time round?

Any advise would be great!

Cheers Chris

This line replaces your existing result and ends the loop. Use any other (non-existing) variable name, but not $result.

$sql = "Insert into pt_menutitles (menu, title, totalcount) select '".$menuinfo['menuheader']."','".$menuinfo ['subcategory']."','".$menuinfo ['totcount']."'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
