explode() with new lines...

[Beau]

Hey guys, hoping you can help me.

I've got a textarea box, which i want to enter a bunch of things on a new line into. Once the form is submitted, the data gets sent to a MySQL database. I want to use PHP's explode function to break each new line into it's own entry in an array.

This is where I hit a snag.

No matter what I make the delimiter, it won't work. I've tried "\r\n", "\r", "\n" and all variations thereof. I can't get it to split in it's own array entries.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Remember to put \\ not \

You could cheat and do

explode("
", $textarea);

Not only did you copy, you failed to notice that it's \\, not //.

You could just easily do this..

    $text = nl2br( $text );
    $text = explode( '<br />', $text ); 

Puts them into an array...

print_r() if you want to see the values.. then just throw them into a foreach and you can do what you want with them..

    foreach( $text as $line ) {
        // your variable here is going to be $line, do what you want with it.
        echo $line;
    }
