Re: getting one line of info at a time

Doug -- ..and then Hull, Douglas D said... % % 1. I have a regular html textarea field for a person to enter in words with a carriage return after each word. In PHP how would I go about getting one line (or word) at a time? Then I will be needing to get character by character. You'll get it all because the user will type in as many entries as he will and then hit the submit button and it all comes to you. Or were you thinking of some javascript on your page to do things one word at a time? [One word about that: YUCK! :-] If your page looks like <form action='/path/to/script.php' method='POST'> Type your words:<br> <textarea cols='20' rows='4' name='ta'> </textarea><br> Now type some words here:<br> <input type='test' size='20' name='i'><br> <input type='submit' value='Click!'> </form> and you feed a b c and a b c to the fields then your script will have something like Array ( [ta] => a b c [i] => a b c ) for its input. You can just use a foreach to walk through the list, or explode based on newlines for multiword input, or whatever you need to do.
