note 58445 added to function.split

The example from ramkumar rajendran did not work. $line = split("/\n", $input_several_lines_long); I do not know why this does not work for me. The following has worked for me to get a maximum of 2 array parts separated by the first new line (independant if saved under UNIX or WINDOWS): $line = preg_split('/[\n\r]+/',$input_several_lines_long,2); Also empty lines are not considered here. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.split.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58445 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58445&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58445&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58445&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58445&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58445&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58445&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58445&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58445&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
