About

Introducing our new PHP word-count package, a powerful tool for accurately counting the number of words in any text input. This package currently supports 3 language scripts and is highly customizable, allowing for exclusion of certain words or phrases from the count and options for case sensitivity and stemming.

Supported scripts

• Latin
• Arabic
• Cyrillic

Installation & usage with composer

Install the package:

composer require irfanh94/word-counter-php

Using WordCounter to only count:

<?php

$wordCounter = WordCounter\WordCounter::buildWithDefaults();

$numberOfWords = $wordCounter
    ->process("This is amazing")
    ->getCount(); // response: 3

Using WordCounter to also output list of detected words:

<?php

$wordCounter = WordCounter\WordCounter::buildWithDefaults();
$wordCounterResponse = $wordCounter->process("This is amazing", true);

$numberOfWords = $wordCounterResponse->getCount();
$listOfWords = $wordCounterResponse->getWords();
