Form and Array Problem

[bailo81]

I want users to be able to enter information into a taxt field separated by commas, then on the next page save this info into an array, at the moment it is saving all the info in the variable into one key on the array:

the form:

<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="page2.php">

  <p>Array info: <br />
    <textarea name="array" rows="5" id="array"></textarea> 
  </p>
  <p>
    <input name="Save" type="submit" id="Save" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>

the next page:

<?php
$sizes = array($_POST['conv_sizes']);
print_r ($sizes);
?>

Can anyone help??

You might need to [man]explode/man the user input.

That said, relying on your users to get the comma separation right can be risky - you might need to trim() spaces on each element of the resultant array, for example.

Either that or explicity tell them, "Enter the values like this: 'one','two','three'". 😃
