Bug #52007 [Bgs]: Split function

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52007&edit=1 ID: 52007 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported by: kannthenpalam at gmail dot com Summary: Split function Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: windows PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: split() is deprecated because it relies on an old, slow, unmaintained regex library. You should be using peg_split() if you actually need to split on a regular expression. In your case, you are splitting on a single character which means you should be using explode(). Using a regex to find a single character makes little sense.
