Well, just offthetopofmyhead:
function word_occurrence($word,$phrase) {
$word = strtolower($word); # this way,
$phrase = strtolower($phrase); # case is irrelevant
$Bits = split($word.'[^[:alnum:]]*', $phrase);
return (count($Bits)-1);
}
I tested this, and it works fine (php 3.0.12) EXCEPT it counts
'coffecoffe' as TWO words, not zero. If that's the behavior you want,
then it's fine. Now I'm intrigued...I want to find a single regular
expression that will NOT match 'coffecoffe'. Perhaps preg_ functions
(available on PHP >= 3.0.9).
And, I tried things like
split('[^[:alnum:]]*'.$word.'[^[:alnum:]]*', " $phrase ")
...didn't work.
