#22226 [NEW]: explode misbehaves exploding empty strings

From: php@savignano.de Operating system: Win32 PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: explode misbehaves exploding empty strings This was reported before (bug #8883) as count(explode("|", "")) == 1 but was stated bogus for some unexplained reason. The problem is: exploding an empty string returns an array with one empty element, but should return an empty array instead. I found this bug to be closed for PHP 3.0.3 (bug #699) with no comment, but it seems it isn't fixed really? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22226&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22226&r=gnused
