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 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
