Personally, I dont like using this function becuase the characters it omits are sometime nessesery
for instance MS Word counts ">" or "<" alone as single word where this
function doesnt. I like using this however, it counts EVERYTHING:
<?php
function num_words($string){
preg_match_all("/\S+/", $string, $matches);
return count($matches[0]);
}
?>
