Thank you for your bug report.
The behavior you describe is by design. If there are n delimeters,
explode() returns n+1 elements. It splits the string using a space, and
thus also splits using the first space. Because there is nothing before
the first space, the first element of the array is empty.
In this case, you can first trim() the string to remove spaces.

Description:
------------
if the string have a space in the begin of the string, takes the space
as a word.
Reproduce code:
---------------
---
>From manual page: function.explode
---
<?
phpinfo();
$a = " word1 word2";
$b = explode(" ",$a);
print_r($b);
print "<br>".count($b);
/* result:
Array ( [0] => [1] => word1 [2] => word2 )
3
*/
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Array ( [0]=>word1 [1]=>word2 )
Actual result:
--------------
Array ( [0] => [1] => word1 [2] => word2 )
