> Howdy,
> I am trying to use the explode() function to get the return-separated values
> within a Filemaker field into an array. I¹ll then do a foreach() on the
> array to display the values. I seem to be unable to get the delimiter
> character correct. The syntax explode("\r",$fieldcontents) does not work,
> yielding an array of only one element with all the values and their return
> characters. "\r\n" and "\n\r" are no better. Can anyone suggest what's going
> wrong here?
>
> Code:
> $FMvariable = $Data['FMfieldName'][0];
> $FMarray = explode("\r",$FMvariable);
>
> echo '<pre>';
> echo print_r($FMarray);
> echo '</pre>';
>
> Result:
>
> Array
> (
>     [0] => Board Volunteer Recruitment
> staff recruitment
> accessibility
> other
> )
> 1
>
> In the above, what I want is for "Board Volunteer Recruitment" to be one
> element, "staff recruitment" to be another element, "accessibility" a third,
> and "other" a fourth.
