Note Submitter: Daniel Rhodes ---- It's mentioned in the Return Values section above ("If the split_length length exceeds the length of string, the entire string is returned as the first (and only) array element"), but note that an input of empty string will return array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" }. Interestingly an input of NULL will also return array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" }. Compare this with, say, <?php preg_split('//', $inputString, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); ?> which will return array(0) { } for an input of empty string or NULL. I find this to be a bit more intuitive. Hope this helps.
