Using str_word_count for UTF8 texts

Question

I have this text:

$text  = \"Başka, küskün otomobil kaçtı buraya küskün otomobil neden kaçtı
          kaçtı buraya, oraya KISMEN @here #there J.J.Johanson h         


        

Answer 1

I think you're sort of on the right track with explode, but that doesn't handle regex.

Change your code to:

$namePattern = '/[\s,:?!]+/u';
$wordsArray = preg_split($namePattern, $text, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
$wordsArray2 = array_count_values($wordsArray);
arsort($wordsArray2);
print_r($wordsArray2);

Of course you may need to tweak the regex ($regexPattern) to meet your needs.
