批量添加php for循环,PHP批量插入foreach

我有一个curl脚本,它从远程源读取数据.以下是当前代码：

function download_page($path){

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$path);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);

$retValue = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

return $retValue;

}

$sXML = download_page('http://remotepage.php&function=getItems&count=100&page=1');

$oXML = new SimpleXMLElement($sXML);

foreach($oXML->results->item->item as $oEntry){

$insert_query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl_item (first_name, last_name, date_added) VALUES ('" . $oEntry->firstname . "', '" . $oEntry->lastname . "', '" . date("Y-m-d H:i:s") . "')");

}

然而,脚本的工作速度非常慢,因为我编写了每个单独的记录. count变量是每页返回的记录数,页变量是简单的页计数器.

我想知道是否有办法进行批量插入语句一次插入所有100条记录.

提前致谢.
