[PHP] Re: randomize etc?
split should work fine... Just do something like:
$teamMembersArray = split(" ,;", $textarea);
That will give you an array of the team members. Of course I'm assuming
that their names don't include spaces and that you'll separate them with
either a space, comma, or semi-colon. And you'll want to get rid of any
newlines in $textarea as well.
