You forgot the pattern deliminator:
print_r(preg_split('/(\s+)/', " word1 word2 word3.", -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE));

You're right, that fixed the space capturing.

The ^ did the trick, thanks! I noticed the empty [0].
I'm doing this to display code in an indented way and to keep the indent if the line wraps, instead of going back all the way to the left. So I'm putting the spaces in a <td> and the code line in another <td>, with a table for each line. I tested it and looks very well, now I'm writting the code to generate it.
Thank you all for your help! :)
