I think the easiest way, if you can guarantee exactly 50 spaces as the
separator, is to simply explode() it.
$string = "EVOLUTION DEAR GOD
BOYZ_II_MEN ";
$arr = explode(str_repeat(' ', 50), $string);
You could also use a regex, but that's probably overkill if your separator is
that simple. If it's not, then you may need a regex.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
