What do you mean by "multiple lines of code" ? what kind of code??

Question: Explain what kinds of code you expect to have for you input?

"multiple lines of code"

 

Here's a sample form:

 

<form action='handle.php' method='post'>
<input type='text' name='code[]'><br>
<input type='text' name='code[]'><br>
<input type='text' name='code[]'><br>
<input type='text' name='code[]'><br>
<input type='text' name='code[]'><br>
<input type='text' name='code[]'><br>
<input type='reset'><input type='submit'>
</form>

 

handle.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST['code']) && !empty($_POST['code'])){
//$code contains an array of all the lines of code
$time = timestamp();
$query = "INSERT INTO `users` ('code','time') VALUES ($code,$time)";
echo (mysql_query($query))? "true" : "false";
} else {
die('You did not submit any code!');
}
?>

no, by multiple lines of code i mean code thats submitted in a textarea box column all at the same time, not a single text field.

Since pressing enter in a textarea adds the \n code, I would suggest the following:

 

form

<form action='handle.php' method='post'>
<textarea name='code'></textarea><br>
<input type='reset'><input type='submit'>
</form>

 

handle.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST['code']) && !empty($_POST['code'])){
//$code contains a string of all the lines of code
$code = explode("\n",$_POST['code']);
//$code is now an array of lines of code, line by line
$time = timestamp();
$query = "INSERT INTO `users` ('code','time') VALUES ($code,$time)";
echo (mysql_query($query))? "true" : "false";
} else {
die('You did not submit any code!');
}
?>
