Laravel - prepared statement contains too many placeholders - php

Question

Im wondering if someone could give me a hand.
I have written an import script, it works fine for a small number of points, but when i start importing large numbers, i get the following error:
General error: 1390 Prepared statement contains too many placeholders
The code that im using to import is as follows:
foreach ( $items as $item ) {
$insert[] = array(
'userid' => User::current()->id,
'lati' => $item[0],
'long' => $item[1],
'streetNumber' => $item[2],
'streetName' => $item[3],
'country' => $item[6],
'state' => $item[5],
'pcode' => $item[7],
'suburb' => $suburb,
'created_at' => new DateTime,
'updated_at' => new DateTime
);
}
if(DB::table('mytable')->insert($insert))
{
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
Any help with figuring out how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

function addData($items) {
$itemsTemp = [];
if (count > 1000) {
$itemsTemp = array_slice($items, 1000);
$items = array_slice($items, 0, 1000);
}
foreach ( $items as $item ) {
$insert[] = [
'userid' => User::current()->id,
'lati' => $item[0],
'long' => $item[1],
'streetNumber' => $item[2],
'streetName' => $item[3],
'country' => $item[6],
'state' => $item[5],
'pcode' => $item[7],
'suburb' => $suburb,
'created_at' => new DateTime,
'updated_at' => new DateTime
];
}
if (DB::table('mytable')->insert($insert)) {
if ($itemsTemp) {
addData($itemsTemp);
}
} else {
return false;
}
return true;
}
