i am having one table a which contails all doc files i want to count the words 开发者_运维知识库from that doc file while editing or after editing and saving...please anyone help me out

update: you said are on windows

<?php

  $file = "somefile.txt";
  $lines = count(file($file));
  echo "There are $lines lines in $file";
?>

<?php
  $text = "This is some text.";
  $count = count(explode(" ", $text));
  echo "$text contains $count words";
?>

On posix system you could have done this in another way

<?php
  $lines_command = 'cat FILE_NAME | wc -l';
  $words_command = 'cat FILE_NAME | wc -w';
  $lines = system($lines_command);
  $words = system($words_command);
?>
