I want to take Line 3 or Line 5 using PHP. How can I do it?

Answer 1

You can use explode() command by "\n" , and get your texts in array (line by line).

See following example:

<?php

$text = $_POST['text'];

if ( $text ) {

  $arr = explode("\n", $text);

  echo "Line 3: " . $arr[2];
  echo "<hr/>";
  echo "Line 5: " . $arr[2];

}

?>
<form method="post">
    <textarea name="text"></textarea>
    <input type="submit" value="send" />
</form>
