hello,
I am trying to count the words from text that is fetched from mysql, It
works, but it's a little inaccurate.. It's about 5 - 10 words off, My guess
it's probably counting some HTML or something. Is there a more accurate way
of counting words?
$row[12] = strip_tags(strtr($row[12],
array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES))));
$wordcount = preg_match_all("#(\w+)#", $row[12], $match_dummy);
if($wordcount == "0") {
$count ="";
} else {
$count = preg_match_all("#(\w+)#", $row[12], $match_dummy);
}
cheers,
- Sebastian
