The second example is wrong. You have to escape special regex characters such as slashes, dots or
hypens.
<?php
// Delimiters may be slash, dot, or hyphen
$date = "04/30/1973";
list($month, $day, $year) = split('[/.-]', $date);
echo "Month: $month; Day: $day; Year: $year<br />\n";
?>
<?php
// this line :
list($month, $day, $year) = split('[/.-]', $date);
//should be:
list($month, $day, $year) = split('[\/\.\-]', $date);
?>
