Note Submitter: chrisjohnson00 at hotmail dot com ---- I performed some tests comparing split(), preg_split() and explode(). explode() is the fastest among the three, so unless you need regex you should use explode. Don't use split(), its much slower than is replacement preg_split(), with or without regex http://wp.me/pN7dZ-r#extraction
