split uses Regular Expressions.
This means that a whole slew of characters like [, ], |, \, $, ^, and [drum
roll please] '.' are "special".
Specifically, "." means "any damn character at all".
You could 'escape' the "." character with file://\\. and all would be good
But, it would be way easier (and more efficient if you're doing a lot of
these) to use http://php.net/explode instead, wherein *NO* characters are
"special" (other than the usual ones for PHP itself, of course.)
As a bonus, you save yourself the headache of trying to understand Regular
Expressions. :-)
list($day, $month, $year) = explode(".", $invdate);
Besides, blowing things up is much more fun than just chopping them with an
axe :-) :-) :-)
