Bug description: preg_split doesn't behave as expected for empty tokens
Description:
------------
If I call preg_split with a string such as ",,foo,,bar,," I expect to get
five empty strings back in the returned array, but I only get back two -
the first and the last.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$tokens = preg_split("/[,]+/", ",,foo,,bar,,");
Expected result:
----------------
I expect $tokens to contain the following array:
array(12) {
[0]=> string(0) ""
[1]=> string(0) ""
[2]=> string(3) "foo"
[3]=> string(0) ""
[4]=> string(3) "bar"
[5]=> string(0) ""
[6]=> string(0) ""
}
Actual result:
--------------
array(12) {
[0]=> string(0) ""
[1]=> string(3) "foo"
[2]=> string(3) "bar"
[3]=> string(0) ""
}
