Creating Configurable product programmatically in magento - php

Question

I am trying to create configurable product with the attributes color and size from simple product collection.
To achieve this, I created a custom attribute named configurable_sku for respective simple products and filled with common SKU. Using this SKU we can group to create a configurable product.
I got collection from $product_sku_collection['sku'] like below,
...
array (size=387)
0 =>
array (size=2)
'conf' => string '753315' (length=6)
'simpleprodcollection' =>
array (size=1)
0 =>
array (size=10)
...
1 =>
array (size=2)
'conf' => string '753319' (length=6)
'simpleprodcollection' =>
array (size=1)
0 =>
array (size=10)
...
Below is the php script which i tried so far.
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
error_reporting(1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
define('D_S', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
require_once 'app/Mage.php';
umask(0);

if ($z == 1)
Zend_Debug::dump($data);
else if ($z == 2)
var_dump($data);
else
print_r($data);
echo"</pre>";

When I run this script, it has to insert 387 configurable products with their respective simple product. But loop runs one time and stops executing, It inserts only one configurable product with their associated simple product but it has to insert all 387 configurable products.
Where have I gone wrong in this. I checked all the way to find it but could not.
Kindly give some advice on this

Answer 1

Finally i found it, we need to use below code inside for loop
$cProduct->save();
$cProduct->unsetData();
To make magento recognize your data as a new model again, you simply need to unset the model id

Answer 2

Mage::getModel('catalog/product'); this actually queries Magento registry and fetch a cached object of that model type, this style of reusing objects is known as Singleton and Magento is known for that. In cases of loops and continuous need for a new unique object, use the standard constructor call of that model. For example in case of products:
$cProduct = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Product();
