As 'mckay' wrote, strtok 2nd argument is a list of tokens, not a string delimiter.
It's not so obvious as one may think and it may be confusing for beginners like me. So, in the
docs, it should state sth. like that
strtok(string where2search, char token2cut).
And for the above split-lover =) 'tysonlt' -> it's better to use explode bcoz
it's lighter than split (to quote original manual: "(...) use explode(), which
doesn't incur the overhead of the regular expression engine")
