What are some best practices for optimizing the performance of PHP scripts that involve executing multiple prepared statements in a loop?

When executing multiple prepared statements in a loop in PHP, it is important to optimize the performance by reusing the prepared statements instead of preparing them in each iteration of the loop. This can be achieved by preparing the statements outside the loop and only binding new parameters and executing the statements inside the loop. 

// Prepare the statements outside the loop
$stmt1 = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO table1 (column1) VALUES (?)");
$stmt2 = $pdo->prepare("UPDATE table2 SET column2 = ? WHERE id = ?");

// Loop through the data
foreach ($data as $item) {
    // Bind parameters and execute the first statement
    $stmt1->bindParam(1, $item['value1']);
    $stmt1->execute();

    // Bind parameters and execute the second statement
    $stmt2->bindParam(1, $item['value2']);
    $stmt2->bindParam(2, $item['id']);
    $stmt2->execute();
}
