Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

split() is deprecated because it relies on an old, slow, unmaintained regex 
library.  You should be using peg_split() if you actually need to split on a 
regular expression.  In your case, you are splitting on a single character 
which means you should be using explode().  Using a regex to find a single 
character makes little sense.
