ID: 33378 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: mbrown at dxsonline dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Output Control -Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 2 +Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.0.4 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 Works like a charne: $ php -r 'var_dump(explode("+", "1+2+3+4"));' array(4) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(1) "2" [2]=> string(1) "3" [3]=> string(1) "4" } Since your output does not contain the '+' sign you obviously executed the code through a browser in which case the output is absolutley exected since the '+' are converted to spaces before your script sees them.

Reproduce code: --------------- $toExplode = "1+1+1+1"; $exploded = explode("+", $toExplode); foreach($exploded as $e) { echo "Bug: ".$e."<br />"; } Expected result: ---------------- Bug: 1 Bug: 1 Bug: 1 Bug: 1 Actual result: -------------- Bug: 1 1 1 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33378&edit=1
