That does make sense -- so PHP is functioning as documented. But does this
seem like the right behavior to others? I think it would be the expected
behavior if $string is not empty, but if $string is empty, I would expect
$array to be empty, too, regardless of the delimiter.

Or, if this is a hopeless cause, does anyone have a better workaround than
my little conditional check?

Thanks!
