    <p>I'm using <code>str_word_count()</code> to calculate the number of words in a content from <code>CKEditor</code>. the content I get from the CKEditior is an HTML content, and I need to calculate the word count. in MS words I get the word count 328. On the other hand in html tags I get from my content after using <code>str_word_count()</code> a 362 words. Is there any way to remove any HTML tags from a php string variable? I tried to use <code>strip_tags()</code>, and it gave me 336. is there any way to get the exact word count in PHP ? thank you in advance.</p> <p>for example this essay entered by a user like this.</p> <blockquote> <p>Mixed School or Unisex School</p> <p>Have you ever think about the impact of mixed schools for students? Most of the schools in the U.S are mixed gender, which mean girls and boys are studying with each other in the same classroom. Some parents wonder about the influences of their child’s in the school either in mixed school or in unisex ones. These influences are not about the education only, the influences about their personality, behavior with the opposite sex and finally their education. In my opinion, I think the unisex schools for teenager’s students are much better than mixed schools, and this conclusion based in many reasons.</p> </blockquote> <p>and in the MS word the word count is: <code>107</code></p> <p>in php </p> <blockquote> <p><code>&amp;nbsp;</code></p> <p>Mixed School or Unisex School</p> <p><code>&amp;nbsp;</code></p> <p>Have you ever think about the impact of mixed schools for students?

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
