[thelist] split() etc

Wed Oct 8 18:34:46 CDT 2003

Might be what you want:

(note - alternatively, instead of an incrementing INT for the array key
on the text fields, substitute meaningful names via another array, do a
foreach instead of a for, and use those keys as row headers when
building the table with the second-to-last foreach)

******************************************************
<html>
<body>
<form method='get' action='<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>'>
<?

$n = 3; //set up for number of rows

for ($i=0;$i<$n;$i++) {
?>
<p>enter row data</p>
<textarea name='items[<?=$i?>]'>
	<?=$_GET['items'][$i]?>
</textarea>
<?
}
?>
<input type='submit'>
</form>

<p>output</p>:

<?php

if (!empty($_GET['items'])) {
	echo '<table border=1>';
	foreach($_GET['items'] as $row_num => $row_contents) {
	        echo '<tr>';
	        $cells = split(',',$row_contents);
	        foreach ($cells as $cell) {
	        	echo '<td>'.$cell.'</td>';
	        }
	        echo '</tr>';
	}
	echo "</table>";
}

?>
</body>
</html>
