insert multiple rows in database

I am a beginner php code and I am trying to update multiple rows of data with this update loop. It will only update the database with the last entry.

$size = count($_POST['wkmove_id']);
$i=0;
while( $i < $size ) {
   // define each variable
   $rps = $_POST['sessrps'][$i];
   $wgt = $_POST['sesswgt'][$i];
   $mv = $_POST['wkmove_id'][$i];

   echo " cat=$cat subcat=$subcat mv= $mv wgt=$wgt rps=$rps<br>";

   $sql = "INSERT INTO wkout_sess 
                 (wkprog_id, wkname_id, wkmove_id, sesswgt, sessrps)
                  VALUES ('$cat','$subcat','$mv','$wgt','$rps')";
   ++$i; 
}
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{

   die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}

echo "1 record added";

This output will show 

cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 1 wgt=45 rps=4
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 2 wgt=15 rps=4
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 3 wgt=10 rps=2
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 4 wgt=12 rps=1
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 5 wgt=5 rps=54
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 6 wgt=1 rps=6
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 7 wgt=2 rps=6
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 8 wgt=1 rps=6
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 9 wgt=1 rps=2
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 10 wgt=6 rps=1
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 11 wgt=4 rps=69
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 12 wgt=8 rps=6
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 13 wgt=4 rps=8
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 14 wgt=9 rps=4
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 15 wgt=1 rps=2
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 16 wgt=3 rps=6
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 17 wgt=5 rps=4
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 18 wgt=8 rps=7
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 19 wgt=4 rps=6
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 20 wgt=9 rps=7
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 21 wgt=8 rps=9
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 22 wgt=4 rps=1
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 23 wgt=4 rps=1
cat=1 subcat=1 mv= 24 wgt=9 rps=7

1 record added

How do I get it to add all previous 23 entries as well?

You are running the query after the while loop. You want to run it IN the while loop. Also, please note that you are using deprecated mysql_* functions and should move to PDO or MySQLi.

The sql string $sql is only being run once, and that is for it's last value in the loop.
