Explode doesnt work.

Permalink
Im not sure what im doing incorrectly, but whenever i apply explode( ' ', $tools), it simply returns a single string.

$tools = (string)$cobj->getAttribute('tools_used');


where $cobj is a collection entry pulled from a singleton "page_list".
var_dump($tools) 
  => (un-exploded) string(45) "Dreamweaver Illustrator Photoshop PHP Magento" 
  => (exploded) array(1) { [0]=>  string(45) "Dreamweaver Illustrator Photoshop PHP Magento" }


any ideas what i could have done wrong or not done?

could the spaces be the invisible   character instead of a real space?

I'm not 100 sure, but you were right, there was a some special char and not a space. cant believe i spent the past 30-45mins tryin to figure out what i did wrong.

<?php
$tools = $cobj->getAttribute('tools_used');
$tools = explode('%0A',urlencode($tools));
//Results
var_dump($tools) => array(5) { 
[0]=>  string(11) "Dreamweaver" 
[1]=>  string(11) "Illustrator" 
[2]=>  string(9) "Photoshop" 
[3]=>  string(3) "PHP" 
[4]=>  string(7) "Magento" } 
?>
