word count and character count

how do you work it out, i thought it would just be

PHP Code:


		
			
    $wordcount = str_word_count($text);

    $charcount = array_sum(count_chars($text));

but for whatever reason the data isn't quite right, is there another way to work this out?

Define "quite right." A word can be defined many ways.

count_chars() groups the number of times specific characters occur. If you just want a string's length, use strlen() instead.

I think it depends on how you regard as a word.
