How can a <textarea> content be stored in an array in PHP?
To store the content of a <textarea> in an array in PHP, you can use the $_POST superglobal array to access the value submitted by the form. You can then store this value in an array for further processing or manipulation.
```php
// Check if the form has been submitted
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
// Get the content of the <textarea> and store it in an array
$textarea_content = $_POST['textarea_name'];
// Convert the content to an array using explode() function
$content_array = explode("\n", $textarea_content);
// Print the content of the array
print_r($content_array);
}
```
In this code snippet, we first check if the form has been submitted using $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]. We then access the content of the <textarea> using $_POST['textarea_name'] and store it in a variable. We use the explode() function to convert the content into an array based on line breaks. Finally, we print the content of the array using print_r().
