Help simplifying a php script to lower server resources

[brunoais]

Ok I have this php text:
There is already coding that start the db connection.
There are already some variables defined

Ok This code is completely functional but it uses a lot the mysql_query().
I'd like to ask for your assistance to help me reduce the server load without lowering the functionality
If I could reduce to one single query it would be wonderful!
(I accept any suggestion that works!)

// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, SERVER_URL."/map.sql");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 


$result= curl_exec($ch);
$ally=explode(';
', $result);


// close cURL resource, and free up system resources and accelerate the process
curl_close($ch);

Well....I don't think you can combine the above into one query since you are using update statements on different tables. The server load issue is unclear since you are looping using a variable called $ally and then executing sql based on $ally. Since the value(s) of $ally are not shown above it is hard to comment on that part of your source.

[brunoais]

The variable $ally is only defined where you can spot it, no where else.
Wings is an array separated by ";"
Edit:

$ally=explode(';
', $result); 

this is the value of $ally

to know the value of $result go to
http://s1.travian.pt/map.sql
or
http://s2.travian.pt/map.sql
or
http://s3.travian.pt/map.sql
or
http://s4.travian.pt/map.sql
or
http://s5.travian.pt/map.sql
or
http://s6.travian.pt/map.sql
or
http://speed.travian.pt/map.sql
. They're all more or less the same size.

you can use multiple tables in one query by using joins, but you cannot combine a truncate and insert into one command. each of those must have their own query.

possible join examples are:

mysql_query("SELECT u.username, p.signature, p.avatar FROM username AS u LEFT JOIN profile AS p ON u.uid=p.uid WHERE u.uid='".mysql_escape($_GET['id'])."' LIMIT 1"); 

you can also use inner join, right join, as well as left join above. they all work the same way, it's just the data they return differ.

Yet for insert it must be a query for each line?
