Processing data from a text area, one line at a time

[Anthony Smith]

I am allowing the use to cut and paste comma delimited data. How do I
process the data one line at a time?

$lines = explode("\n", $data);
for($idx=0; $idx<count($lines); $idx++) {
$commas = explode(",", $lines[$idx]);
// do whatever
}

Note: you will obviously need to do more checking when exploding each
line. The data could look like:
123,"this is a line of text",123
123,"He said, 'this is a new sentence'.",123

The second example will return a length of 4.
