note 91529 added to function.explode

Just in case the comment about empty strings is not clear: <?php $a = array(); var_dump($a); $s = implode("\n", $a); var_dump($s); $b = explode("\n", $s); var_dump($b); $b = preg_split('/\n/', $s,-1,PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); var_dump($b); ?> Results in: array(0) { } string(0) "" array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } array(0) { } i.e. exploding an empty string results in an array with one element. You can use preg_split to skip the empty item, but that may not be quite what you need should your array have empty elements intentionally. ---- Server IP: 92.48.74.199 Probable Submitter: 87.74.30.27 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91529 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91529/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91529/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91529/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91529/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91529/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91529/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91529 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91529 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
