How can a loop be used to read 255 characters at a time from a text area and insert them into separate columns in PHP?

To read 255 characters at a time from a text area and insert them into separate columns in PHP, you can use a loop to iterate through the text and extract substrings of 255 characters each. Then, insert these substrings into separate columns in a database table. This can be achieved by using functions like substr() to extract the substrings and SQL queries to insert the data into the database.

// Assuming $textArea contains the input text from the text area
$text = $textArea;
$length = strlen($text);
$chunkSize = 255;

for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i += $chunkSize) {
    $chunk = substr($text, $i, $chunkSize);
    
    // Insert $chunk into separate columns in a database table using SQL query
    // Example SQL query: INSERT INTO table_name (column_name) VALUES ('$chunk');
}
