Yeah,
we can definately draw some conclusions regarding this function:
When you get a warning with "REG_EMPTY" it's probably a split() (or ereg(),
ereg_replace) function with special regex characters supplied, like the pipe (|) or parantheses.
It's safe to use explode() since it does not require a regex, but a normal string.
split("|",....) will not work
split("\|",....) on the contrary.
Well, for those who are getting delusions after hours spent composing regular expressions with
little effect, a syntax checker:
