Please forgive me im still new to programming and php. So this is what I got
from what you said however I guess I managed to screw the whole code up
because it doesn't work at all anymore :(

$textareaSubmit = $_POST['cpu_asset'];
$textarea2Submit = $_POST['cpu_serial'];
$textareaSubmit = str_replace("\r", "",$textareaSubmit); //First of all strip
all the returns \r
$textarea2Submit = str_replace("\r", "",$textarea2Submit); //First of all
strip all the returns \r
$inserts = explode("\n", $textareaSubmit, $textarea2Submit);  //Explode by
new line
                                if(is_array($inserts)){ //check if its array
                                        //run foreach on array
                                        for($i = 0; $i < count($inserts);
$i++){
                                        $check = false;
                                        $check = mysql_query('INSERT INTO
labels (`asset`,`serial`) VALUES (\''.$inserts[$i].'\',
\''.$textarea2Submit[$i].'\')');
        if($check === true){
                echo "Done";
                }else{
                echo "An error occured during printing. \n Reason:\n Failed
to insert data into mysql";
                                                        }
                                                        }
                                                }

Im sure one of the problem area(s) is 

$check = mysql_query('INSERT INTO labels (`asset`,`serial`) VALUES
(\''.$inserts[$i].'\', \''.$textarea2Submit[$i].'\')');

However im not sure what the variable $textarea2Submit[$i] is supposted to
be. Do I need to create a whole other if(is_array($inserts)){ ??

Thanks for your help

if the $check returns a "false" it would mean that there was an error  
in your SQL statement. The error might be here:

- > (`asset, serial`)

I doubt you have a column named `asset, serial`

Secondly if you are inserting two values into the SQL then they must  
be separated with a comma (,).

- > VALUES (\'value1\', \'value2\')

Thirdly :) if you are sure these two texareas are "in sync" you might  
wanna try to do the following:

for($i = 0; $i < count($inserts); $i++){
...
'INSERT INTO somewhere (`col1`,`col2`) VALUES (\''.$inserts[$i].'\',  
\''.$otherSyncedArrfay[$i].'\')'
...
}

Hope I was clear enough :)
