You may be given an unexpected result because you're capturing the offsets. If you leave out the OFFSET_CAPTURE flag, you should get the same kind of array you get when using explode().

this is the end result of my script that does the job completely for me:

PHP Code:

$item_linkerkant_verhaal1 = preg_split("/\.|\?|\!/", $item_linkerkant_verhaal, -1, PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE);

$aantal = count($item_linkerkant_verhaal1);

$item_linkerkant_verhaal_intro = "";

for($i=0; $i< $aantal-1; $i++){
    $i2= $i-1;    
    
    $waarvanaf = ($item_linkerkant_verhaal1[$i2][1])-1;
    $item_linkerkant_verhaal_intro_end = substr($item_linkerkant_verhaal, $waarvanaf, 1);
    
    $item_linkerkant_verhaal_intro = $item_linkerkant_verhaal_intro.$item_linkerkant_verhaal1[$i][0].$item_linkerkant_verhaal_intro_end;
} 

sorry for the variable names in dutch..
