array_search

I've been using array_search in my scripts for a while now, but have come across a problem. My new page has a textarea field. If I enter any new lines in the textarea, array_search returns false. I have tried using html_encode, addslashes, serialize and nothing yet has worked. My only other options that I can think of would be to limit the textarea to one line (change it to a regular text input field) or do a regex on the posted data and replace the line returns with something else (which I have tried without success). Kinda stuck here.. Not sure what I should try next... Thanks, Jake McHenry Nittany Travel MIS Coordinator http://www.nittanytravel.com
