Splitting single array into multiple arrays for mysql data insert - php

Question

I am trying to split a load of data from a text-area that is tab delimited data into multiple arrays.
The process is:
Pasta data into textarea
Post textarea to insert.php
Preg_replace Tabs with commas
Explode on comma
print_r
Date sample being used is:
Dr S Findlay 1234567890 Mickey Mouse 01/01/2001 Elective Waiting 02/02/2002 00:00 Dr one Day Case 03/03/2003 00:00 On Medical Advice Usual Place of Residence
The result I get from this is:
Array ( [0] => Dr S Findlay [1] => 1234567890 [2] => Mickey [3] => Mouse [4] => 01/01/2001 [5] => Elective Waiting [6] => 02/02/2002 00:00 [7] => Dr one [8] => Day Case [9] => 03/03/2003 00:00 [10] => On Medical Advice [11] => Usual Place of Residence [12] => )
This works well and is inserted perfectly into mysql database. However when I use a full data range which can be anything from 2x to 50x the data amount exampled above it displays differently:
More realistic data sample:
Dr S Findlay 1234567890 Mickey Mouse 01/01/2001 Elective Waiting 02/02/2002 00:00 Dr one Day Case 03/03/2003 00:00 On Medical Advice Usual Place of Residence
Dr Peter 1234557890 Mickey1 Mouse1 01/01/2003 Waiting 02/02/2014 00:00 Dr one Waiting Case
Dr Nail 1234569990 Mickey2 Mouse2 01/01/2009 Emergencey 02/02/2018 00:00 Dr one Emergencey 29/05/2018
Result:
Array ( [0] => Dr S Findlay [1] => 1234567890 [2] => Mickey [3] => Mouse [4] => 01/01/2001 [5] => Elective Waiting [6] => 02/02/2002 00:00 [7] => Dr one [8] => Day Case [9] => 03/03/2003 00:00 [10] => On Medical Advice [11] => Usual Place of Residence [12] => Dr Peter [13] => 1234557890 [14] => Mickey1 [15] => Mouse1 [16] => 01/01/2003 [17] => Waiting [18] => 02/02/2014 00:00 [19] => Dr one [20] => Waiting Case [21] => [22] => [23] => [24] => Dr Nail [25] => 1234569990 [26] => Mickey2 [27] => Mouse2 [28] => 01/01/2009 [29] => Emergencey [30] => 02/02/2018 00:00 [31] => Dr one [32] => Emergencey [33] => [34] => [35] => [36] => 29/05/2018 )
What I want to do (but cannot figure out how to do) is split this into arrays so that each line of data (13 columns not always with data in) displays like this so that I can insert all of it into mysql in one go. Im not sure if this will work so please correct me if it won't.
What I want it to look like:
Array ( [0] => Dr S Findlay [1] => 1234567890 [2] => Mickey [3] => Mouse [4] => 01/01/2001 [5] => Elective Waiting [6] => 02/02/2002 00:00 [7] => Dr one [8] => Day Case [9] => 03/03/2003 00:00 [10] => On Medical Advice [11] => Usual Place of Residence [12] => )
Array ( [0] => Dr Peter [1] => 1234557890 [2] => Mickey1 [3] => Mouse1 [4] => 01/01/2003 [5] => Waiting [6] => 02/02/2014 00:00 [7] => Dr one [8] => Waiting Case [9] => [10] => [11] => [12] => )
Array ( [0] => Dr Nail [1] => 1234569990 [2] => Mickey2 [3] => Mouse2 [4] => 01/01/2009 [5] => Emergencey [6] => 02/02/2018 00:00 [7] => Dr one [8] => Emergencey [9] => [10] => [11] => [12] => 29/05/2018 )
As I then presume I can give each part of the array an name $forename = $area[2] ; then use that to insert to the correct field of my database?
Sorry if this doesn't make sense - Or if I'm barking up the wrong tree. All & any advice, help or information is appreciated. Thanks AJ

Hello Brother you explanation is quite confusing but as you
described you Working Process in start so on the basis of that i
like to suggest you below code. Have a try.
NOT SURE WILL WORK BUT WORTH OF TRY
<?php
// explode by tab
$tabbedContent = 'Dr S Findlay 1234567890 Mickey Mouse 01/01/2001 Elective Waiting 02/02/2002 00:00 Dr one Day Case 03/03/2003 00:00 On Medical Advice Usual Place of Residence';
echo '<pre>';
var_dump(explode("\t", $tabbedContent));
echo '</pre>';
?>
at least this may short your process.
