How many times the char appears?

[lina2401]

Hope this will be the last post for today 🙂
I have this stored in a string variable:
$table= <table id=Table1 width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

What I need is to count the number of occurances of the <tr> tage?? In other word I need to know the number of rows in the table!
Can anyone help!!

You can do it with regular/PCRE expressions, but this function ought to do:

Take a look at:
