how can i seperate a form input with that contains , and then insert into a database (i can do this bit).

 

this is what i have so far. I tried exploding it, but if it is in an array how can i insert it into the db.

 

if(isset($_POST['send']))
{
$to = $_POST['to'];

}
?>
<!--<div id="title"><img src="title.jpg" alt="Title"></div>-->
<div id="nav"></div>
<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" class="email">
To <input type="text" value="<?php echo $to; ?>" name="to" size="100" onClick="this.value=''" title="Enter The Recipients Email Address">
</form>

You might want to clarify because I don't think anyone can understand what you are really asking for xD

how can i seperate an input at (,) but not into an array.

[.josh]

Well I don't really see anything in your posted code to do that to, so...what do we have to work with to begin with?

[DeanWhitehouse]

Yer, i removed it , i first tried using

strpbrk()

but that is no longer used, i believe, then i tried using explode but that puts it in an array.

[.josh]

but what I'm telling you is that in your form you only have one thing being submitted...so..I don't really see what you're trying to make a comma separated list out of...in other words..what are you trying to explode? What data/variable/whatever are you working with? Because you haven't provided that...

[DeanWhitehouse]

the data in the form. it will be user submitted.

[thatsgreat2345]

Maybe you should post new code and explain what you expect since making sense of what you want from the code provided isn't exactly working out.

[DeanWhitehouse]

<?php
if(isset($_POST['send']))
{
$to = "one,two,three";
// i need to split one,two,three into
$one
$two
$three
}
?>

[thatsgreat2345]

use preg_split and or split depending on the speed and complexity as you are just splitting by a comma you might as well use split.

[.josh]

Okay, well, if you really are wanting variables to be named what's in your comma separated list like that:

<?php
$to = "one,two,three";
// i need to split one,two,three into
$list = explode(',',$to);
foreach($list as $val) {
 $$val = $val;
}
// example: 
echo $one; // echoes 'one'
?>

 

however... I have a sneaking suspicion that your list is of emails, right? Well that's not going to really work out with emails.  So...why can't you use an array?

ok, thanks for all the reply's.
