Hello every one
I want to write an extensive database for my upcoming bilingual dictionary. I must make my words in a notepad or a text file, and since this job is done by a typist rather than a programmer, I have to tell her to type in a simple format so that using php, later, I could add them to a database. My approach is that to tell her to type words with one space between. Like:

Carrot Potato Bread Water Glass Head Hand Eye Ear Body


What PHP Function or regular expression I must use to get each word into a row of a table in a database?

[Barand]

explode()

eg

<?php
$line = "Carrot Potato Bread Water Glass Head Hand Eye Ear Body";

foreach (explode(' ', $line) as $word) {
echo $word . '<br />';
}

?>

Oh very clean indeed, thanks. But a question before embarking on a test. Instead of <br /> is it apt to place a mysqli set of commands? thanks

Yes, you can. I was echoing so you could see the result.
