Form PHP DOC about split

This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.

Try

$string = '|../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_0.jpg|../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_1.jpg|../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_2.jpg|../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_3.jpg|../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_4.jpg|../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_5.jpg|../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_6.jpg|../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_7.jpg' ;
var_dump(explode("|", $string));

Output

array
  0 => string '' (length=0)
  1 => string '../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_0.jpg' (length=67)
  2 => string '../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_1.jpg' (length=67)
  3 => string '../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_2.jpg' (length=67)
  4 => string '../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_3.jpg' (length=67)
  5 => string '../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_4.jpg' (length=67)
  6 => string '../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_5.jpg' (length=67)
  7 => string '../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_6.jpg' (length=67)
  8 => string '../../filesBank/_screenshots/com.beem.project.beem_screenshot_7.jpg' (length=67)

* If you still want to use split *

This is the way yo use it

$string = split("[|]", $string);
var_dump($string);

You can getting split() [function.split]: REG_EMPTY becasue you tried to use it like this

   $string = split("|", $string);
