Re-formatting Addresses

[gerkintrigg]

Hello. I'm trying to take a complete address from a database field and split it using the line break) into seperate values (line one be one variable, line 2 another etc).

I've got this code so far but it doesn't work:

[code]$addy=$row['Address'];
// split the address
$chars = preg_split('/
/', $addy, -1, PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
$al1 = $chars[0];[/code]

Can anyone help please?? Thanks in advance.

[code]
<?php

$addy = explode("\n", $row["Address"]);

print_r($addy);

?>
[/code]

Oh how silly... yeah. Thanks very much - I forgot explode --- DUH! ;)

np. Using preg_split to remove space is like de-shelling peanuts with an anti-tank missle.  ;D
