[SOLVED] Listing variables in an array

[Anzeo]

Hey all,

 

 

 

I'm currently working on some smaller extra's to add to my site. One of them requires me to input a list (using a form). The list is inputed through a textarea and every new line is seperated by a comma.

 

I'm now trying to figure out how to list all those lines.

 

I've worked out something along the lines of:

$List = $_POST['List'];
$Listarray = array();
list($Listarray[]) = explode(",",$List);
foreach($Listarray as $entry)
{
	echo "$entry";
}

 

But it only list one array element(1 list). Does anyone have an idea on how to list a whole array? (I mean with a variable amount of inputs)

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Its pretty difficult to tell what you need, maybe this helps?

 

<?php

  foreach($_POST['List'] as $list) {
    $entry = explode(',',$list);
    foreach($entry as $data) {
      echo $data."<br />";
    }
  }

?>

Hmm no, i'll try to explain my intentions a bit better.

 

I want to create a simple form which would allow me to fill in a list in a textarea the list would be formatted like this:

 

data1,data2,data3,etc...

 

I then need all those data's to be listed so I can work with them seperatly (like inserting them into a DB).

 

But I can't find out how to make a list (to use a foreach statement afterwards) which consits of an unknown variable amount of entries.

Well when $entry gets exploded, it turns into an array of the information.

For example when you explode the commas in data1,data2,data3 it returns with

$entry[0] = data1

$entry[1] = data2

$entry[2] = data3

 

Or atleast I think so.

All you need then is...

 

<?php

  $entry = explode(',',$_POST['list']);
  foreach($entry as $data) {
    echo $data."<br />";
  }

?>

Darn it, I can't believe how simple the answer was...
