Introduction:

I was having a problem trying to split a string of multiple lines from an online form using the flowing code:

<?php
   $arry_names = split("n", $names);
?>

This was producing an unexpected line break. I searched the web to see if anyone had the same problem and found that I needed to check for "returns" (r) also. So now when I'm splitting data by lines, I use the following code:

<?php
   $arry_names = split("[n|r]", $names);
?>
