In this article we will create a Auto Count Words using PHP. The code will count the entered string and display the total words. This is a user-friendly kind of program feel free to modify it. To learn more about this tutorial, just follow the step below.

Getting Started:

First you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that run PHP scripts. Here's the link for XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html.

And, this is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.php.
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. <html lang="en">
  3. <head>
  4. <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
  5. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
  6. </head>
  7. <body>
  8. <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
  9. <div class="container-fluid">
  10. <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
  11. </div>
  12. </nav>
  13. <div class="col-md-3"></div>
  14. <div class="col-md-6 well">
  15. <h3 class="text-primary">Auto Count Words Using PHP</h3>
  16. <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
  17. <div class="col-md-8">
  18. <form method="POST" action="">
  19. <label>Enter a String</label>
  20. <div class="form-group">
  21. <textarea class="form-control" required="required" style="resize:none; height:100px;" name="words"></textarea>
  22. </div>
  23. <button class="btn btn-primary" name="count">Count</button>
  24. </form>

  25. <?php

    include

    'function.php'

    ?>
  26. </div>
  27. </div>
  28. </body>
  29. </html>

Creating the Main Function

This code contains the main function of the application. This code count the words from a string when the form is submitted. To make this just copy and write these block of codes below inside the text editor, then save it as function.php
  1. <?php
  2. if

    (

    ISSET

    (

    $_POST

    [

    'count'

    ]

    )

    )

    {
  3. $words

    =

    $_POST

    [

    'words'

    ]

    ;
  4. function

    countWords(

    $string

    )

    {
  5. $string

    =

    preg_replace

    (

    '/\s+/'

    ,

    ' '

    ,

    trim

    (

    $string

    )

    )

    ;
  6. $words

    =

    explode

    (

    " "

    ,

    $string

    )

    ;
  7. return

    count

    (

    $words

    )

    ;
  8. }


  9. echo

    "<h3>Total Word: <span class='text-danger'>"

    .

    countWords(

    $words

    )

    .

    "</span></h3>"

    ;
  10. }
  11. ?>
