I'll try updating to that, and see if it solves this. I could add this functionality but I am not sure if it would break people's scripts because they used parentheses without expecting to receive captured delimiters. What does everyone think? Should it be that way by default or should we have another PREG_SPLIT flag, e.g. PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE? And if we have a flag can it be combined with PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY? -Andrei * "Lack of planning on your part doesn't consitute an emergency on my part." *
