Using these methods, could you use it to insert additional text before and
after the first word (or the nth word)
e.g.
$text = "This is my text, for placement";
$textWithAddedString = "(word1 start)This(word1 end) is my text, for
placement";

words, for a programming language, are nothing more than just the spaces.
So, as previousely was shown - could the mount of spaces in the string
to get the amount of `words' in between them.

To be somewhat more rigorous, you could do:
$numOfWords = count(preg_split('/\s+/', trim($string)));
(also untested); this ignores leading/trailing whitespace, and deals
with multiple spaces/tabs between words. There is an example in the
docs (below) called 'Get the parts of a search string' t
Umm, how about:
$string = "hi my name is bob";
$count = (substr_count($string," ")+1);

Untested, but this should work.
$string = "Is there a way to count the number of words in a string?"
$numOfWords = count( explode( " ", $string ));

I don't recall there being one. But, you could do this:
$array = preg_split('/\s+/', $string);
echo count($array);
