PHP bulk insert foreach

Question

I have a curl script which reads the data from a remote source. Below is the current code:

function download_page($path){
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_set         


        

Answer 1

Maybe something like this?

foreach($oXML->results->item->item as $oEntry){
  $inserts[] = "(". implode(', ', array ($oEntry->firstname, $oEntry->lastname, date("Y-m-d H:i:s") ) ) .")";
}
$insert_query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl_item (first_name, last_name, date_added) VALUES ".implode(', ', $inserts));
