this is killing me: textarea to list in php

[keith]

ok, let's get right down to it:

i have a text area [name="info"], and would like to get ech line to hold it's own piece of information... so the textarea input reads out like this:

line1
line2
line3

here's the code to decipher the info:

<?
$info= trim("$info");
$info= explode("\n", $info);
$info= implode("|", $info);
$info= trim("$info");
?>

it then writes it to a file... i'd like it to read out like this:

line1|line2|line3

but it writes it like this:

line1
|line2
|line3

what the hell am i doing wrong??

give this a try (it's because you haven't removed the carriage return \r)...

<?php
if (!isset($info)) {
    echo '<form name="form1">
    <textarea name="info"></textarea>
    <input type="submit">
    </form>';
} else {
    $info2 = ereg_replace ("\r\n", "|", $info);
    echo $info2;
}
?>
