note 23884 added to function.count-chars

I might even suggest adding this line: $var = eregi_replace(" +", " ", $string); to make any instance of multiple spaces into one space... that should help somewhat... function count_words($string) { // below line added to make contiguous spaces count as one space $string = eregi_replace(" +", " ", $string); $result = count_chars($string, 0); return(round($result[32], -1)); } Note: I haven't tested this but, I believe it should work... :) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count-chars.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23884 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23884 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23884
