What's the problem with this PHP code?

[Sophia <red_angel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the PHP code:


<?php


$panka = "   c:can-it-rock-
    :the-boat-of-
:love-  ";

$pankb = preg_split(':',$panka);
$pankc = $pankb{"1"};

echo "(" . $panka . ")\n(" . $pankc . ")\n";


?>






I keep getting the following error:

Sophia-Shapiras-MacBook-Pro:tmp red_angel$
Sophia-Shapiras-MacBook-Pro:tmp red_angel$ php testo.php

Warning: preg_split(): No ending delimiter ':' found in 
/Users/red_angel/tmp/testo.php on line 8
(   c:can-it-rock-
    :the-boat-of-
:love-  )
()
Sophia-Shapiras-MacBook-Pro:tmp red_angel$
Sophia-Shapiras-MacBook-Pro:tmp red_angel$




So --- what am I missing? What am I doing wrong? I'm pulling my hair out 
over this one! Anyone have a clue what's up? I can see that the colon is 
present *multiple* times in the string that is meant to be split! How 
come PHP's preg_split() function can't see it?

Thanks,
Sophia
