note 83463 added to function.preg-split

When I try to get \n delimited lines to an array from a file, preg_split gives one more array element which contains null string. Assume file contains line1 line2 $lines = preg_split("/\n/", fread($fh, filesize($filename))); $lines{ [0] => line1 [1] => line2 [2] => } Same problem exists for explode as weel.
