Help with selecting multiple values out of a text input field.

I have a simple internal messaging system set up and I want the users to have the ability to enter multiple recipients in the “To” field, separated by a comma or semicolon.

I’m either searching the wrong terms or have the wrong idea of how this is done. Any suggested links or other resources are appreciated ?

@MindzaiJul 06.2010 — [code=php]$recipients = preg_split('/,|;/', $_POST['to'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
foreach ($recipients as $recipient) {
echo "sending to $recipient<br />";
}
[/code]

@NogDogJul 06.2010 — I like to have it trim any white-space while it's at it:
[code=php]
$recipients = preg_split('/s*[,;]s*/', trim($_POST['to']), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
[/code]
