It depends on what you define as a word, but let's take the simple

$words = explode(' ', strip_tags($str));
$count = count($words);
I believe substr_count() is faster than that method.

This is one lousy solution but hey - it's a solution after all; you
can simply remove all a tags containing href before doing the
preg_match_all()-call, something like this below should do it I think.
$src = preg_replace('/a[^]*?href=[^]*?/is', '', $src);

Hi Frank,
if you got the above in a string, your best shoot is to use explode, for
example like below:
?
$string = N50.34.234 E006.45.34 on 23-feb-2003;
$data = explode( ,$string);
mysql_query(INSERT INTO table (n,e,this_date)
VALUES('.$data[0].','.$data[1].','.$data[3].'));
?
Read more on php.net/explode, there's also plenty of other string functions
there that may help.

[PHP] Re: Encrypting Passwords - Is it really necessary??
Is it really necessary to store passwords encrypted in a mySQL DB for a membership site if you're not storing sensitive info such as credit card numbers? How much security does that offer, really, and for whom? The most important reason in my humble opinion is that users may use the same password for serveral sites and therefor he or she can feel safe that his password isn't abused, even if a hacker grabs the database. For passwords under 128 chars, md5() is a pretty good solution. The reason I ask is because I'm trying to implement a forgot password feature on a membership site. But if I store passwords encrypted, I can't just send the password to their e-mail address, I have to generate a new one before sending it, which essentially locks that member out of the site until they get their new password. This has the potential to be abused by a vindictive person. All they need to know is the member's username or e-mail address and they can keep re-generating new passwords (locking the member out of their own account) for a member to annoy them. If the password wasn't encrypted, I could just e-mail their existing password. The only annoyance then would be someone sending this password over and over to another user, but, at least they won't get 20 new passwords and be locked out of their account as a result. This can be more or less resolved, there's almost impossible to fully protect your site from abuse but you could for example implement something like max one new password per day. Another way could be to add an additional detail, like postal code or something which is easy for user to determine but (probably) not for other people.

[PHP] Re: Auto Increment Problems....
my primary key column (id) is set to auto_increment as usual which is very handy. But when I delete a row, the auto_increment just keeps incrementing and there's this 'hole' left where I deleted the row! This is the way it should be, and it's like that for a reason - if you have other tables with relations to the ID in the original table, you may cause some headaches when the holes are filled up by new rows and they become related to those other tables. Apart from this looking ugly, it poses another problem. In my PHP script where I can add new rows, I query the table, checking how many rows in the table altogether and set the new id as the next number, but this doesnt work if theres 'holes' in the id field, as the new record tries to overwrite another id. You may find the function mysql_insert_id() useful. If you'd like to count the number of rows in a table you can SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table; 1) Can the next auto_increment value be 'set' by a SQL query That's done automagically, and it's probably best to leave it that way. 2) Can I get a SQL query to INSERT INTO the first 'hole' it finds in the ID column?? It's possible but not recommended, you can just search through the rows and see where there's a hole. -Jome -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] IMAP and Attachments
How can I check to see if a email has an attachment? Then download it if the

I've been working on a webmail for POP3 but I guess the idea is about the same.
To check if a an email has attachments you use the function imap_fetchstructure() and
then you can do something like this:
$struc = imap_fetchstructure();
count($struc-parts);
if ($no_of_parts 0) {
echo the message has attachments.;
}
This is my way of doing it, the 'bad' thing with this kind of code is that it also
includes HTML-messages. This can be prevented with some extra code though.
For downloading you use the same kind of thing, I guess it slightly more advanced and
you have to do some decoding of the message.
