'\r\n' and "\r\n" are not anything alike...

\r\n only have special meaning inside of ", not '

If you want to cover all browser/OS combinations, you'd want to
pre-treat the text area input like:
$datelist = $_POST['datelist'];
$datelist = str_replace("\r\n", "\r", $datelist);
$datelist = str_replace("\r", "\n", $datelist);

Now all the date are separated by "\n" and you can reliably use
explode("\n", $datelist); on them.
