help: tricky multiple entry

[ghdp]

Hello everybody,

This is what I want to build:
- the user copies a series of numbers from an excel/txt file and pastes it into a textarea. The numbers are separated with line breaks. Each different number is a different data value (entry).

• the php script identifies that these are different values and inserts them into an array.

The problem is how would the php code recognize that a line break equals a separate entry/data.

Thanks in advance,
[e-mail]

P.S. uploading a file with the data is not an option. The people that will do this process are totally computer illiterate

Use [man]explode[/man] to create your array. The line break should be recognized by \r\n as the delimiter.

$array = explode("\r\n", $input)

Thanks "TheDefender" I will try this out immediately.
Good job
