The pipe character ("|") is a special character in regex, so it needs to be escaped if you intend to use it as a string literal. But, as noted in the docs <http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.split.php>: "...if you don't require the power of regular expressions, it is faster to use explode(), which doesn't incur the overhead of the regular expression engine." -- CC
