RE: [PHP-DB] getting one line of info at a time
Find out what the hex is for a carriage return and use strtok() to get an array of words, then use strlen to get the number of chars in each array element, and use array_pop() or array_shift(), iterating over the strlen, or test for NULL for each element in the array..

RE: [PHP-DB] getting one line of info at a time
Ooops, got lost in the thought
$text_area = $_POST[ textarea ];
$str = strtok( $text_area, \o );
while( !( $str === FALSE )) {
$text_array[] = $str;
}
for( $i = 0; $i count( $text_array ); $i++ ) {
for( $j = 0; $j stlen( $text_array[ $i ]) {
$char = substr( $array_elelment[ $i ], $j );
printf( $char );
}

1. I have a regular html textarea field for a person to enter in words with
a carriage return after each word. In PHP how would I go about getting one
line (or word) at a time? Then I will be needing to get character by
character.
2. I will then be searching my database to get matching values in order to
do other things.
But at the moment I am jus trying to figure #1 out.
Thanks for any help.

Doug -- ...and then Hull, Douglas D said... % % 1. I have a regular html textarea field for a person to enter in words with a carriage return after each word. In PHP how would I go about getting one line (or word) at a time? Then I will be needing to get character by character. You'll get it all because the user will type in as many entries as he will and then hit the submit button and it all comes to you. Or were you thinking of some javascript on your page to do things one word at a time? [One word about that: YUCK! :-] If your page looks like form action='/path/to/script.php' method='POST' Type your words:br textarea cols='20' rows='4' name='ta' /textareabr Now type some words here:br input type='test' size='20' name='i'br input type='submit' value='Click!' /form and you feed a b c and a b c to the fields then your script will have something like Array ( [ta] = a b c [i] = a b c ) for its input. You can just use a foreach to walk through the list, or explode based on newlines for multiword input, or whatever you need to do.
