#22226 [Opn->Bgs]: explode misbehaves exploding empty strings

ID: 22226 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: php@savignano.de -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Win32 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If the separator string cannot be found the entire contents of the passed string will be stored in the 1st element of the returned array. This is intended behaviour. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-14 16:47:13] php@savignano.de 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22226&edit=1
