How about

pseudocode...

$variable=variablename;

$array = explode("|",$text);

foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
    $variable$key=$value;
}

Someone may have a better way but you can read each line (assuming the
file
uses \n for a new record) and use:

arrayname = explode("|",$variable_holding_line_from_file);

Then you can do assign the variables as such:

$name = $arrayname[0]; etc

Could be a better way from the list :)
