php - Explode on new line works with "\n" but not with PHP_EOL. Why? -

i have string

as can see, contains new line. want split message array of 2 messages , figured i'd utilize explode() in combination php_eol, multi-os functionality, left surprised did not work.

explode(php_eol, $str); // array( [0] => "divakat has attacked gergana, dealing 591 physical damage. ( 2 absorbed ) // gergana has died." ) explode("\n", $str); // array( [0] => ""divakat has attacked gergana, dealing 591 physical damage. ( 2 absorbed )", [1] => "gergana has died." )

i ask, why first illustration not working expect to, , there way can create work, because not have hardcode new line character in there. give thanks you.

edit:

i forgot mention, message has been created on same machine code beingness tested. there no os changes.

php_eol represents end-of-line sequence platform on. not magically create end-of-line sequence used within string same of platform.

for example, string \n (the unix eol hardcoded):

$str = "hello\nworld";

if run on unix system, print 2:

echo count(explode(php_eol, $str));

but on platform print 1 because $str contains neither windows nor mac eol sequence.

update: doesn't create difference where input created; how created. can create string unix eols on windows scheme including hardcoded \ns in it.
