split should work fine... Just do something like: $teamMembersArray = split(" ,;", $textarea);
That will give you an array of the team members. Of course I'm assuming that their names don't include spaces and that you'll separate them with either a space, comma, or semi-colon. And you'll want to get rid of any newlines in $textarea as well. -philip On Thu, 1 Aug 2002, Hawk wrote: > I'm trying to make a small script that I can use for randomizing teams and > stuff, I have one field where I enter how many teams, one for how many in > each team, and a <textarea> to write down all the players in.
