Recognizing text with php

[cip6791]

Hi,

 

 

I want to recognize let s say "..." in a text. How can that be accomplished in php? And maybe put all "..." into an array. Anybody have any idea how this can be done?

 

Thank you

Yes it can be done but your question is so vague that it's hard to say how.

Ok ... so let s say I have post on a blog, and I want to select the word "does" from that post. I want to know how many times the word "does" shows up in the post.

<?php
// your string
$str = 'this is a post post post post';

// Count the number of occurences:
$count = preg_match_all( '/post/', $str, $blank);

// print occurences
echo "Count is: $count<p>$str</p>";
?>
