Bug #62461 [Opn->Nab]: error in explode

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62461&edit=1 ID: 62461 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: php dot net at pravec dot de Summary: error in explode -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Strings related Operating System: debian PHP Version: 5.3.14 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Quoting the manual: "If delimiter contains a value that is not contained in string and a negative limit is used, then an empty array will be returned, otherwise an array containing string will be returned." This is the second case: the delimiter isn't in the string, so an array containing the string is returned. Not a bug -> closing.
