RE: [PHP] array_search

[snip] 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). [/snip] Just a SWAG, but you are exploding the textarea into an array using spaces for the explosion? If so use a replace function to replace the \n characters, then do your thing...following is untested... $foo = $_POST['textarea']; $newFoo = str_replace("\n", " ", $foo); $arrayFoo = explode(" ", $newFoo);
