ID: 9 Comment by: adasdfdsd at ahoo dot com Reported by: gareth at omnipotent dot net Summary: error using split function Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Linux 2.0.33 / Intel P2/233 PHP Version: 3.0 Latest CVS Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: das Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1998-01-28 01:11:43] rasmus Small side-note: For a simple split like this, using explode() ( http://www.php.net/manual/function.explode.php3 ) is faster. The bug in split() has been fixed now. Patch is available at: http://www.php.net/cvsweb.cgi/functions/reg.c?r1=1.68&r2=1.69 Or wait for the the b4 release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1998-01-26 18:29:54] gareth at omnipotent dot net The following scriptet: <? $myarr=split(",",",something,that,starts,with,the,deliminator"); ?> returns: Warning: bad regular expression for split() in /www/splittest.php on line 2 and naturally doesn't assign anything to the $myarr array. I suppose really you'd expect either to assign an empty value to the first item in the array, or else to skip the leading deliminator altogether... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=9&edit=1
