Splitting strings return by awk in PHP

I have the following PHP code snippet to run awk. It returns the right record entries. However, I cannot extract the individual fields from each of the record using PHP? I tried preg_split with " " delimiter but, it did not output anything. Thanks.

$cmd = "/usr/bin/awk '{if($1 >= \"$s_period\" && $1 <= \"$e_period\"){print $1,$2}}' File_Path";
exec($cmd,$output);

foreach ($output as $result)
{
      $temp = preg_split(" ",$result);
      echo "$temp[0]\t$temp[1]<br />";  //no output
}

The input file is in format: 2013-04-03(date) 67788.7(val1) 4555(val2) 5555(val3) $output contains record as "2013-04-03 67788.7". That is, date followed by stats

$output contains record as "2013-07-15 6361.97". That is, date followed by stats

To split your $output string into an array:

$temp = explode(" ", $output);

To output the individual bits:

echo "{$temp[0]}\t{$temp[1]}<br />";
