It depends on what you define as a word, but let's take the simple approach
of stripping HTML et al, and exploding the string on the spaces, then
counting the array of words:
text that I want to count";
$words = explode(' ', strip_tags($str));
$count = count($words);
?>
Really no need for regex
if this is your SPECIFIC problem, putting a space at the beginning of $srch
will help, eliminating XAVAILABLE... but this will cause a problem with the
word AVAILABLE appearing at the start of the string, so temporarily put a
space at the start of the string:
this won't help if there are newlin
