If you want to separate insert statements, you can do it like this:
$big_insert_query = "INSERT INTO table (id, col1, col2) VALUES ('',
'$col1_stuff[$i]', '$col2_stuff[$i]'), ('', '$col1_stuff[$i]',
'$col2_stuff[$i]'), ('', '$col1_stuff[$i]', '$col2_stuff[$i]'), ('',
'$col1_stuff[$i]', '$col2_stuff[$i]')";
Ie, you specify the columns, and the values are a comma separated, bracket
enclosed list. I dunno whether this frees up any resources, or has any
major advantages, though it's probably better practice ;)
I think this is only available in 3.22 or higher, though I could be
wrong....
