Bug #29325

optionsplit inconsistent handling of whitespaces an zeros
0%
Description
optionsplit as implemented in splitConfArray($conf, $splitCount) in class.t3lib_tstemplate.php uses a simple explode by |*| and a subsequent if($main0) etc. for the determination of the main parts, leading to the following behaviour:
1|*| |*|2 => middle part present (space)
1|*|0|*|2 => middle part empty (if(0))
1|*| 0|*|2 => middle part present (if(' 0'))
Whe splitting subparts an explode by || followed by a count and a trim during assignment leads to a more expectable but rather different behaviour:
1||0|*||*| => last subpart of first main part is not empty but the string '0' will be assigned.
I attached a small patch that would change the checking of main parts to strlen(trim()), to achive a hopefully less confusing behaviour.
Do I overlook something?
thanks and kind regards, Tobias

Actually the bug is in the TS used for testing.
TSref gives an example for the correct syntax:
first1 || first2 |*| middle1 || middle2 || middle3 |*| last1 || last 2
Now it seems that the space is not optional but necessary to make it work.
On the other hand it doesn't hurt, if we adjust the bevaiour if it doesn't introduce a breaking change.

Hi,
as this issue is very old. Does the problem still exists within newer versions of TYPO3 CMS (6.2.5)?
