Note Submitter: fie@myrealbox.com ---- i dunno why you guys keep using preg maybe there is something i'm missing it might help if i understood how to use preg as to what you are accualy doing nevertheless here's a short function doing what i guess is the exact same thing that you guys are doing but i think mine is shorter and prolly runs faster since it's not using patterns function wrdcnt($haystack) { $cnt = explode(" ", $haystack); return count($cnt) - 1; }
