RE: [PHP] HELP!!! Word count
Dan, if you are entering the words in a form, when the variable holding the string
hits your script do something like this (Hey I just figured this out myself too
Gotta love these lists
$tmpStr= whatever the form passes your script
// turn string into an array
// use EXPLODE() to seperate the words into an array
// since they are seperated by a " " (blank space)
$tmpAry = explode(' ',$tmpStr);
// if they were seperated by commas you would write
$tmpAry = explode(',',$tmpStr); // DIG
// then just use count($tmpAry) to figure out the size of your array
// and you have the number of words!
There might be an easier way than that, but it workes for me.
-Peace dude
PS: Thank Andrew Braund for the solution, he sent a varriant of it to me

RE: [PHP] HELP!!! Word count
You can use explode() to split the text up into words, and then count them up. You can use strlen() or substr() or something to see how many "lines" there are...whatever you define a line as. Look up other useful functions at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php. I really think you'd be best off with a human deciding these things, though, maybe with a little PHP help. If you make it all automated, what's stopping me from posting 1997_White_Chevy_S10_Loaded_Power_Everything_$2000_Call_555-1212_for_inf o and only being charged 1 cent for it?? ---John Holmes... > -Original Message- > From: Dan McCullough [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 9:08 PM > To: PHP General List > Subject: [PHP] HELP!!!
