This is not a bug, PHP doesn't know anything about UTF8 encodings and
will split up a word if it's not [A-z].

Description:
------------
str_word_count return wrong number, if german umlaut "ö" (ö) is
contained in the word. 
it is okay, if the umlaut is the first or the last character.

the same goes für the ligature "ß" ß.



Reproduce code:
---------------
echo str_word_count('wäre');         # 1 - okay
echo str_word_count('würde');        # 1 - okay
echo str_word_count('wérk');         # 1 - okay
echo str_word_count('wörk');         # 2 - wrong!!!
echo str_word_count('örk');          # 1 - okay
echo str_word_count('werök');        # 2 - wrong!!!
echo str_word_count('weräk');        # 1 - okay


echo str_word_count('straßenbahnölbehälter'); # 3 words???

Expected result:
----------------
the above code should return always 1
