Re[2]: [PHP] Counting number of characters without spaces between them?

Hello Chris, Friday, April 23, 2004, 5:41:59 PM, you wrote: CS> You can explode on a space and loop through the resulting array, checking CS> strlen() as you go. In the end I used a regexp to strip out all non alpha-numeric characters from the string - and then compared the length of this to what was left. Using it I can tell if there are vastly more "non-alpha" characters. Seemed to be a bit quicker than looping through arrays, etc, although it does involve the overhead of the preg engine I guess. BTW - Nice piece in Int PHP Mag this month :) -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html
