There is only a line break, if the user hits enter, otherwise the textarea
will just wrap the content.
You can use the following:
$textAreaWidth = 60; //Number of cols specified for textarea
$loops = ceil(strlen($_POST['textarea']) / $textAreaWidth);
for($i = 0; $i < $loops; $i++){
$sp = $i * $textAreaWidth;
$line = substr($_POST['textarea'],$sp,$textAreaWidth);
$sql = 'insert into dbTable (fieldname) values ("'.$line.'")';
Mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
}

Split the data on a line break maybe? First thing that comes into my
head...

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Textarea and mysql
Hello,
Im currently having a bit of an issue with putting user info from a
textarea
into mysql db with php. With the textarea I need each new line to be a
separate entry into the db fields. So I guess the end result is making
the
textarea act like a regular text html form. The reason I am using
textarea is
because I want a user to paste in a long string of numbers
Ex:
11111111
22222222
33333333
....and so on
And each will end up in the same field just different entries.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this?
Thanks
