there is a difference how active server pages (vbs/asp) handle array. an empty string will return nothing after split. while translating asp to php ... take this:

<?php
$a = explode("\\r\\n", "");
print(count($a));

$b = ms_explode("\\r\\n", "");
print(count($b));

function ms_explode($delimiter, $string, $limit = 0xFFFFFFFF)
 {
 return($string ? explode($delimiter, $string, $limit) : array());
 }
