Thanks. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-24 04:54:03] ed at avi dot ru It will be a nice idea to put this example to documentation; I was already going to send a bug report about PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE when I found this article. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-09 09:10:23] mfischer@php.net Read the manual: PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE If this flag is set, parenthesized expression in the delimiter pattern will be captured and returned as well. This flag was added for 4.0.5. So your pattern should look like: /(a)/ and presto, it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-09 08:59:34] bogien at conecto dot pl PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE does not work - preg_split() simply omits the delimiters disregarding the flag. The following line: print_r(preg_split('/a/', 'mama', -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE)); ...returns: Array ( [0] => m [1] => m [2] => ) ...just like without the last argument - while it should return: Array ( [0] => m [1] => a [2] => m [3] => a [4] => ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16512&edit=1
