New Comment:
in this case we only use the information that is passed from PCRE. The
extra entries you are seeing appear because of the backtracking
algorithms (used in current regex engines).
You can always skip those results by specifying the PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY
flag.

Description:
------------
preg_split behaves unexpectet with certain pattern (see reproduce
code):
It returns tripple offsets with the offsetvalue -1.
It gets even worse when you replace:
$reg = "~\{(literal)\}(.*?)\{(/literal)\}|\{(.*?)\}~s";
with
$reg = "~\{\*(literal)\}(.*?)\{(/literal)\}|\{(.*?)\}~s";
it simply returns several off those empty string, offset -1 triples.
P.S.: Hope it is actually a bug and not my ignorance of regex, however
i asked in a forum if anybody knew where the mistake is and i got no
answer and in addition the offset -1 mykes it look like a bug to me.
If it however should be a mistake in my regex it would be kind if you
would let me know how to put it.
Thx in advance
Reproduce code:
---------------
$reg = "~\{(literal)\}(.*?)\{(/literal)\}|\{(.*?)\}~s";
echo $reg.'<br>';
$res = preg_split( $reg, "df{g}s{literal}asd{as}d{/literal}", -1,
PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE|PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE );
echo '<pre>'.print_r($res, 1).'</pre>';
Expected result:
----------------
~\{(literal)\}(.*?)\{(/literal)\}|\{(.*?)\}~s
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => df
[1] => 0
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => g
[1] => 3
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => s
[1] => 5
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => literal
[1] => 7
)
[4] => Array
(
[0] => asd{as}d
[1] => 15
)
[5] => Array
(
[0] => /literal
[1] => 24
)
[6] => Array
(
[0] =>
[1] => 33
)
)
Actual result:
--------------
~\{(literal)\}(.*?)\{(/literal)\}|\{(.*?)\}~s
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => df
