It is important to know when use the preg, reg or other functions. Because these functions have more
or less "power" and data time process
For example, if you want that a text with spaces generaters an array of words, you have many
options, you can do an explode, and split or an preg_split.
explode is in string functions group.
split is in posix group functions.
preg_split is in PCRE group functions
The first function in this list is the less powerful, but the fastest function, and the last is the
more powerful and slower function, at the same time.
In this case with the 3 functions you can do exactly the same!!! So this will be god to use the
first one...
And you know, a few miliseconds for every time a process runs in the day is a lot of time! ;D
