Returning whole string with preg_split

I'm trying to split a string by one or more spaces, but the below isn't working..instead it is returning the whole string as a singular array.

$str = 'I am a test';

$parts = preg_split('/\s+/', $str, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

print_r($parts);

Here is what it returns:

Array
(
    [0] => I am a test
)
Solution

  • flags is the 4th parameter to preg_split, not the 3rd.
