text area handle

Hi, I know this group for PHP-DB, but I could not find any help from PHP-Manual about Text Area Handle. I'd like to accept input with multi-line text box (use textarea quote). How could I get each row value in text area. If someone have better idea to input multiple row in one time and retrieve into SQL Statement with PHP. Example: +-------+ | ABC | | DEF | <Search> Fill value in text area and then press Search. (Put each value | GHI | into SQL statement; using in Where clause) +-------+ Thanks SF
