you can try this code using php built in PHP_EOL but there is little problem about array index so i am fixed it

<?php
$text = 'Name:Jay
Email:[email protected]
Contact:9876541230';
$array_data = explode(PHP_EOL, $text);

$final_data = array();
foreach ($array_data as $data){
    $format_data = explode(':',$data);
    $final_data[trim($format_data[0])] = trim($format_data[1]);
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($final_data);

and output is :

Array
(
    [Name] => Jay
    [Email] => [email protected]
    [Contact] => 9876541230
)

Easiest way to do :-

$textarea_array = array_map('trim',explode("\n", $textarea_value)); // to remove extra spaces from each value of array
print_r($textarea_array);

$final_array = array();
foreach($textarea_array as $textarea_arr){
    $exploded_array = explode(':',$textarea_arr);
    $final_array[trim($exploded_array[0])] = trim($exploded_array[1]);

}

print_r($final_array);

I think you need create 3 input:text, and parse them, because if you write down this value in text area can make a mistake, when write key. Otherwise split a string into an array, and after create new array where key will be odd value and the values will be even values old array

This also works for me.

$convert_to_array = explode('<br/>', $my_string); 
for($i=0; $i < count($convert_to_array ); $i++)
{ 
$key_value = explode(':', $convert_to_array [$i]); 
$end_array[$key_value [0]] = $key_value [1];
} 
print_r($end_array); ?>
