Answer 1

You can turn string into an array using the explode function.
You can surely use this in your case, using my little demonstration:
$name = "raj|lokesh|amar";
$salary = "10000|20000|30000";
$job = "telecom|marine|shipyard";
You just set the variables.
Now turn them into exploded arrays:
$name = explode("|", $name);
$salary = explode("|", $salary);
$job = explode("|", $job);
You basically want to get all of the words between the character | and turn each word into an array item, so each word will have it's own index.
now, $name[0] (the first array index),
echo $name[0]; // echoes 'raj'
echo $name[1]; // echoes lokesh'
echo $job[3]; // echoes 'shipyard';
And now you have to loop trough these arrays and insert it in the query:
for ($i = 0; $i < count($name); $i++) {
echo $name[$i];
}
So final solution will look like this:
for ($i = 0; $i < count($name); $i++) {
$query = $pdoObject->prepare("INSERT INTO table (name, salary, profession) VALUES (:name, :salary, :jobs)");
$query->execute(array(
":name" => $name[$i],
":salary" => $salary[$i],
":jobs" => $jobs[$i]
);
}

Answer 2

This is not a direct answer , since you haven't showed us any code.
Try something like this.
<?php
$name = "raj|lokesh|amar";
$salary = "10000|20000|30000";
$job = "telecom|marine|shipyard";
$name = explode("|",$name);
$salary=explode("|",$salary);
$job=explode("|",$job);
for($i=0;$i<count($name);$i++)
{
$q = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `yourtable` VALUES ('$name[$i]','$salary[$i]','$job[$i]')");
}

Answer 3

Try to use
$names = explode("|", $name);
$salaries = explode("|", $salary);
$professions = explode("|", $profession);
and then loop through the arrays ($names, $salaries, $professions) to insert the values in your database.

Answer 4

Like this
INSERT INTO `persons`(`Name`, `Salaray`, `Profession`) values('raj', '10000','telecom'),('lokesh', '20000','marine'),('amar', '30000','30000')

Answer 5

//ASSIGN THE VARIABLES TO INSERT
$name= '';
$salary='';
$job='';
//INSERT DATA INTO DATABASE
$Input = mysql_query('INSERT INTO persons (name, salary, profession) VALUES ($name, $salary, $job)');
//SEARCH FOR PERSONS
$output= mysql_query('SELECT * FROM persons ORDER BY id ASC');
$personsCount = mysql_num_rows($output); //count output amount
//LOOP PERSONS OUTPUT
if($personsCount > 0){
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($output)){
$id = $row['id'];
$name = $row['name'];
$salary = $row['salary'];
$job = $row['job'];
$personsList .= $name.' '.$salary.' '.$job.'';
}
}
echo $personsList;
