Split: How to detect a line break within a form

[francescomoi]

Hi.

I've got a textarea form and send a text via 'POST' to a PHP code:
-------------
data1
data2
data3
--------------

I use this piece of code:
-------------
$data = $_REQUEST["data"];
$data_array = split('\\n', $data);
------------

But it doesn't work. I tried also with '\n', '\r\n' and '\\r\\n'
without success.

Any suggestion? Regards.

For some reason its working quite fine for me with this:

textarea.php:
-------------
<?php
$sent = $_REQUEST[sent];
if($sent == "yes") {
$data = $_REQUEST[data];
$data_array = split("\n", $data);
print_r($data_array);
} else {
echo "<form action='textarea.php' method='post'>";
echo "<textarea cols='10' rows='10' name='data'></textarea>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='sent' value='yes'>";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Send'>";
echo "</form>";
}
?>
-------------

It produces this:

Array
(
[0] => data1
[1] => data2
[2] => data3
)

What exactly is going wrong?

/me thinks:

$data_array = split("\n", $data);
