New Comment:
Oops, I should have used
preg_split("/q/", "", -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
which works.
If preg_split is supposed to be Perl Compatible (as in PCRE) then this
behavior ought to be changed to match Perl's split() by default:
By default, empty leading fields are preserved, and empty trailing ones
are deleted. (If all fields are empty, they are considered to be
trailing.)
Not sure if this is a PHP bug, a PCRE bug, or a feature.

Description:
------------
$b = preg_split("/q/", "", PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
should return an empty array (0 elements). Instead it returns an array
with one element which is an empty string, i.e. (""). This is the same
with or without PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY.
Compare to Perl
my @a = split(/q/, "");
Here @a == () not ("")
