Because you're splitting on spaces only. If you want to split on more than just
spaces, you need to use a regular expression split function.
$word = preg_split('/\s+/', $string);
That will split on any whitespace character, such as space, tabs, and line breaks.
Note, putting in the + makes the expression kind enough to only do one split in cases
where more than one space character are next to each other.
Enjoy,
