PHP - take data from html textarea row after row into variables

I have a HTML form and there is a textarea let's say like this:

link1
link2 
link3

I would like to take the text from the text area row after row through PHP file so it will in the end be like this:

$var1 will be "link1"
$var2 will be "link2"
$var3 will be "link3"

important - this variables must be saved in php - whole form is in html file

EDIT: this can be done with array too, so i will have ["link1", "link2", "link3"]

EDIT2: if this is done with array i would like to acces it with indexes like in JS or other languages so "$array[0]" for example... (i know its not done like this in php)

In this case you can use a foreach.

Let's say you have a textarea tag.

<textarea name="lyrics"></textarea>

You can access it's value:

$lyrics = $_POST['lyrics'];
$text = trim($lyrics);
$textAr = explode("\n", $text);
$textAr = array_filter($textAr, 'trim');

Use foreach

foreach ($textAr as $line)
{
    echo $line;
}
