Word cloud

[stof01]

Hi

 

Im having some trouble trying to do the following...

 

My first page will have a text box where a user can enter no less than a hundred words.The user clicks submit and it gets passed into array and the next page displays the word cloud.

 

Any help would be great

too vague of problem. Post errors, what's happening, whats your code.

 

We can't help you with what you gave us

Sounds like your trying to get a tag cloud going. There are hundreds to thousands of tutorials showing you how to do that.

 

But your actual question is a straight forward textarea form that takes the words and breaks them up into an array like so....

 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submitForm'])){
	$words = explode(',', $_POST['words']);

	echo '<pre>';
		print_r($words);
	echo '</pre>';
}
?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
   <label>Enter your tags/words. Seperate them with a comma (,).<br />
      <textarea name="words" cols="80" rows="8" id="words" ></textarea><br />
   </label>
   <input type="submit" name="submitForm" value="Submit Words" />
</form>

 

results look like this.

Array
(
    [0] => bob
    [1] =>  steve
    [2] =>  john
    [3] =>  dog
    [4] =>  cat
    [5] =>  bird
    [6] =>  car
    [7] =>  this
    [8] =>  that
    [9] =>  cake
    [10] =>  face
    [11] =>  grass
    [12] =>  pot
    [13] =>  pan
    [14] =>  dish
    [15] =>  baby
    [16] =>  joe
    [17] =>  van
    [18] =>  bus
    [19] =>  form
    [20] =>  field
    [21] =>  button
    [22] =>  cat
)
