function line_count($string) { return count(preg_split("/\r?\n/", $string)); } function word_count($string) { return count(preg_split("/\s+/", $string)); } There will be a PEAR-string class, which includes functions similar to this. I assigned it to me some days ago and I will be working on it as soon as I have some time left :) -daniel -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
