convert | separated values into new table using PHP - php

Question

Edit: I forgot to add the explode part that I'm having the issues with. I need the query result exploded.
I have been messing with this for a while and have a workable procedure in mysql, however I want to accomplish this as part of a larger script. I have a table filled with IDs and several columns of data with "|" separated values. How can I use or edit the below PHP to query and insert normalized results into a new table?
If I run this with an actual string: "40|180|408|360|40|166|80|59"; It will insert values (not the ID, which I also need) but when I try to pass in query results, I get "Array to string conversion" errors. Any guidance would be appreciated.
$query = "Select id, imageSize from T1";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
$myArray = explode('|', $result);
foreach($myArray as $value) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO testExplode VALUES ($value)";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
}

If you want to insert all of your results then:
$query = "Select id, imageSize from T1";
$myArray = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($myArray)) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO testExplode VALUES (" . mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $row['imageSize']) . ")";
mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
}
//If just only one:
$query = "Select id, imageSize from T1";
$myArray = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($myArray);
$sql = "INSERT INTO testExplode VALUES (" . mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $row['imageSize']) . ")";
mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
NOTE:
Avoid sql injecions by escaping your variables in your querys.
EDIT:
Based on the OP comment.
$query = "Select id, imageSize from T1";
$myArray = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($myArray)) {
$values = explode('|', $row['imageSize']);
foreach ($values as $value) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO testExplode VALUES (" . mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $value) . ")";
mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
}
}
