How to save several sentences to MySQL separately from each other?

Discussion in 'PHP' started by FokeBox, Mar 24, 2013.

  1. #1
    Hello all! I use a form where I enter some text consisting of several sentances! How can I save each sentance to MySQL separately?
    I use this php script, but it saves all text that was entered to the form

    $query = "INSERT INTO mytable (table1) VALUES ('$textform')" ;
    Thx for help!

    By separately you mean in new line? If that's the case, you can use php built in function called nl2br which converts new line in text field to break tags.
    Use it like this,
    $text= nl2br($text);
    now put this into the database. To echo out the formatted text use following

    echo nl2br($text);

    Here is a simple example that might work.

    $mytext = "this a first sentence. This is second. This is third";
    $onesentence = explode(".", $mytext);
    echo $onesentence[0];
    echo $onesentence[1];
    echo $onesentence[2];

    In your case you will store $onesentence[0] and other two in database row.

    loop through the exploded array and insert it into the table. I think that's not too hard.
