To improve Tim's answer here is a function: function split_lines ($string) { $lines = preg_split("/\r\n|\r|\n/", $string); if (count($lines) == 1 && !$lines[0]) { return array(); } return $lines; } When splitting an empty string you don’t get an empty array, instead you get an array with an empty string as it’s only element.

You're confusing (\r|\n) with [\r\n]. [] doesn't need |, since it's for single characters. The 100% sure-fire cross-platform separator is (?:\r\n|\r|\n), which can be abbreviated to (?:\r\n?|\n).
