I've been trying to create a tracker and everything is going smoothly thus far, just one new feature I'm trying to work on has me stumped. I'm trying to have it so the person who starts a tracker can enter names and the tracker will grab the names the user entered and look them up.
The only way that I can think of accomplishing this would be to insert the names from $_POST['names'] and insert them into an array, but when I do this, it only creates one index inside the array.
This is the code that I'm using:
$lol = array();
$l = array($_POST['names']);
foreach ($l as $textarea) {
array_push($lol, nl2br($textarea));
}
for ($a = 0; $a < count($lol); $a++) {
echo "index " . $a . ": " . $lol[$a];
}
The result of that is:
index 0: lol
not

this

work
I typed the above out in the text field with spaces. Here's the HTML file that I'm using as well:
<body>
<form name="form" action="test.php" method="GET">
<div align="center">
<textarea cols="13" rows="10" name="names"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="lol">
</div>
</form>
</body>
So I guess what I'm asking is, is it possible to have a person put, say, "Ron", "Mark", "Tommi", and "Daniel" in the text box, could I insert "Ron", "Mark", "Tommi" and "Daniel" into an array so that their index would be [0, 1, 2, 3] respectively, and if so how would I achieve this?
