php and textboxes

[dd1313]

Hi Guys

I would like to know if this can be done in php.I saw this at the domain
registrars website the other day

Basically they have a textbox and ask you to list all your domains
one row at a time.

How then can we retrieve each row from the textbox and place it into an array


I hope I have asked correctly

Thank you
DD

Totally possible.

$domains = explode("\n",$_POST['textbox']);
print_r($domains); 

Or, if you want to separate them by commas:

$domains = explode(',',$_POST['textbox']);
print_r($domains); 

Or by spaces:

$domains = explode(' ',$_POST['textbox']);
print_r($domains);

I get somthing like this

Array ( [0] => domain1.com [1] => [2] => domain2.com [3] => domain3.com [4] => [5] => [6] => domain4.com [7] => domain5.com [8] => [9] => domain6.com [10] => )

How do I remove these empty array keys, these are the empty lines

I tried the solutions here http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/show...eadid=10248482

but still no luck.

Thanks

I also tried array_filter()

<?php

class DomainHandler {

    public $domains;

    public function __set($property, $value)
    {
        $this->$property = (string)trim($value);
    }

    public function __get($property)
    {
        return $this->$property;
    }

    public function callbackFunction($uri)
    {
        if (strlen($uri) >= 11) {
            if (false !== filter_var($uri, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

    public function buildDomainsArray()
    {
        $this->domains = str_replace("\r", "\n", $this->domains);
        $this->domains = array_map('trim', explode("\n", $this->domains));
        $this->domains = array_filter($this->domains,
                                      array('self', 'callbackFunction'));
    }

    public function __toString()
    {
        return (string)var_dump($this->domains);
    }

}

$domainHandler = new DomainHandler();
$domainHandler->domains = $_POST['domains'];
$domainHandler->buildDomainsArray();
echo '<pre>', $domainHandler, '</pre>';

Maybe I have overcomplicated it a bit but it works

A little improvement:

<?php

class DomainHandler {

    public $domains;

    public function __set($property, $value)
    {
        $this->$property = (string)trim($value);
    }

    public function __get($property)
    {
        return $this->$property;
    }

    public function callbackFunction($uri)
    {
        if (strlen($uri) >= 11) {
            if (false !== filter_var($uri, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

    public function buildDomainsArray($separator = "\n")
    {
        if ("\n" === $separator) {
            $this->domains = str_replace("\r", "\n", $this->domains);
        }
        $this->domains = array_map('trim', explode($separator, $this->domains));
        $this->domains = array_filter($this->domains,
                                      array('self', 'callbackFunction'));
    }

    public function __toString()
    {
        return $this->domains;
    }

}

$domainHandler = new DomainHandler();
$domainHandler->domains = $_POST['domains'];
$domainHandler->buildDomainsArray();

echo '<pre>';
var_dump($domainHandler);
echo '</pre>';

    }

    public function __toString()
    {
        return $this->domains;
    }

}

$domainHandler = new DomainHandler();
$domainHandler->domains = $_POST['domains'];
$domainHandler->buildDomainsArray();

echo '<pre>';
var_dump($domainHandler);
echo '</pre>';

Thank you so much.
