PHP - explode() not working with space delimiter

Now this should be simple, sure I'm doing smt stupid here.

I'm trying to divide a string made of a number and currency, into an array with one cell having the number, and another the currency. Not rocket science, right?

My code is smt as follows:

var_dump($valueWithCurrency);
var_dump(explode(" ", $valueWithCurrency));

Now the result of var_dump are as follows:

string(11) "-50,00 kr."

and

array(1) {
  [0] =>
  string(11) "-50,00 kr."
}

I tried a million different variations, nothing working. My question is, why the simple explode isn't splitting the string by spaces??

You probably have a non-breaking space between the number and the currency (as it should be). You may solve your problem by using the hexadecimal coding of non-breaking space:

explode("\xc2\xa0", $valueWithCurrency)
