Mysql query insert using equals signs

Question

This may be an easy questions but i am wondering if an "insert" sql statement can be writen with equals signs.

Example: Right now my sql looks like this and works fine:

$query = "INSERT INTO people (
        id, 
        name, 
) VALUES (
        {$id},
        '{$name}',

)

So i was wondering if i can write the sql statement like this or something similar to this using = signs:

 $query = "INSERT INTO people 
        id = {$id},
        name = '{$site_url}',

Thank you for any help. I am just looking for an easier way to write this code especially when i have a lot of form fields. Thanks.

Yes.

You have to use SET

$query = "INSERT INTO people 
    SET id = {$id},
    name = '{$site_url}'";
