Thanks! I was just reading that function in the manual when I got your reply. I tested it but I still have a couple of problems with it.
print_r(preg_split('(\s+)', " word1 word2 word3.", -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE));
I get this:
Array ( [0] => [1] => word1 [2] => word2 [3] => word3. )
In [0] the spaces aren't there and it's splitting the other spaces too, where I need to only split the leading spaces. How should I write it?
TIA, Anguz

...I wonder why you're doing this, but here's an answer for you.
BTW, if you use var_dump or var_export, you can see the whitespace :-).
$arr = preg_split('/(^\s+)/', " word1 word2 word3.", -1,
PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);The ^ means beginning of string.
This will still give you an empty string in $arr[0], so do something like:
unset($arr[0]); $arr = array_values($arr);
Or just write your code to expect the extra entry. ;-)
