What potential pitfalls can arise when inserting large amounts of data into a database using PHP?

One potential pitfall when inserting large amounts of data into a database using PHP is running out of memory due to the size of the data being processed. To avoid this issue, you can use batch processing to insert data in smaller chunks rather than all at once. 

// Example of batch processing to insert large amounts of data into a database

// Define your data array
$data = array(/* large amount of data */);

// Set the batch size
$batchSize = 1000;

// Chunk the data array into smaller arrays
$dataChunks = array_chunk($data, $batchSize);

// Loop through the data chunks and insert them into the database
foreach ($dataChunks as $chunk) {
    // Insert data into the database using prepared statements or any other method
    // Example: INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, ...) VALUES (value1, value2, ...);
}
