How to insert multiple rows in MySQL using PHP

<?php

class InsertClass {

  private $pdo;
	
  public function __construct() {
    // database connection
    $this->pdo = new PDO("mysql:host = localhost; dbname = test", 'root', '');
  }

  function insert($name, $age, $address) {
      $user = array(':name' => $name,
                    ':age' => $age,
                    ':address' => $address);
	 
      $sql = 'INSERT INTO users (
              name,
              age,
              address
      )
              VALUES (
              :name,
              :age,
              :address
      );';
	 
      $query = $this->pdo->prepare($sql);
	 
      return $query->execute($user);
  }
}
?>

We can now call the insert() method several times:

<?php

  $obj = new InsertClass();

  $obj->insert('Alex', 22, 'California');     // 1st insertion
  $obj->insert('Bob', 25, 'Alaska');       // 2nd insertion
  $obj->insert('Yohan', 30, 'Alabama'); // 3rd insertion
  $obj->insert('Jean', 45, 'Arizona');    // 4th insertion

?>
