jannoy

can u give me guys a logic how to count the content( number of words) of .htm files
ex.

html>
<head>
<title>Capture</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
hello world<br>
<table width="365" border="1">
<tr>
<td width="158">test me </td>
<td width="191">and here </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>anywhere</td>
<td>what else </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>dudes</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<div align="center"><br>
home | email me| about me
</div>
</body>
</html>

the result will be
number of words :15
contains :
hello world,test me ,and, here ,anywhere,what, else,dudes,about, me,email, me,home

How about read the file as a string into a variable
eg
$text = '<html><head>.......

.......</html>';

then use

$words = striptags($text);

Then you would need to delete the | (and anyother strange charactors from the new string.

then
$word_array = explode(" ", $words);

this would give you an array with all the words in it

count($word_array);

hope this at least give you an idea
