在for循环中存储mysql中的变量

I am working on a project where I need to save some variables to a database and retrieve some of those variables in a class to recalculate the next batch of variables.

However I came to realise that the current project is running too slow and find out where the leak was: in storing those variables. (Insert statement in PHP)

Since the insert statement can get in a pretty big for loop, like this ($auctionobjects and numberofdays is filled in by the user, $hours == 24):

for($i = 0; $i< $numberofdays)  {
    for ($n = 0; $n < $hours)  {
        for ($k = 0; $k < $auctionobjects)  {
        $strSql = 'insert into results (vars) values ()'
        $blnOke = $objDatabase->query($strSql)
        }
    }
 }

The waiting time can get pretty long, which is not desirable as the simulation must be able to run for a pretty long time.

Now my idea was to get an insert statement as the following:

$strSql = 'insert into results (vars) values (), (),()'

But the variables that fill the columns in MySql change troughout the simulation. Since I don't know how big the $auctionobjects variable will be, I cannot get the right number of brackets I need to fill in.

What I could do is create a variable that creates the string needed for the amount of $auctionobjects like this:

$createSqlString  = '(vars)'
for($x = 0; $x< $auctionobjects; $x ++)  {
   $createSqlString .= ,(vars)
}

And then insert it in the Sql statement, but I am not sure if there is a more clean solution.
