I just tried the following and it worked fine for me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ less test.php
<?php
$emails = '[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
print_r(preg_split('/[\s,;]+/',$emails));
?>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ php test.php
Array
(
[0] => [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[1] => [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[2] => [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[3] => [EMAIL PROTECTED]
)
If you are not getting this result then there is a bug somewhere else in
your code or perhaps (yet less likely) there is a bug in your version of
php.
