Filed under: AJAX, UI, Yahoo | Tags: AJAX, begineers, Code, simple, yui
Comments (3) For those of you, who want to get started with YUI and Ajax, this would surely prove helpful.
<html><head>
<title>Lets learn YUI</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mydiv">
Add some Text or Images if you want to replace dynamically</div>
<a href="Loading.html" onclick="return YUI();">My first AJAX</a>
<script src="build/yahoo/yahoo-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="build/event/event-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="build/connection/connection-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function YUI(){
var loadUrl = "Loading.html";
var callback = {
success: function(o) {
document.getElementById('mydiv').innerHTML = o.responseText;
},
failure: function(o) {
alert("AJAX doesn't work"); //FAILURE
}
}
var transaction = YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest('GET', loadUrl, callback, null);
return false;
}
//]]>
</script>
</body>
</html>
This is how one can simply make AJAX calls using YUI. The code is simple and self explanatory. If you need any help with this, please drop in comments.

Advanced Word Count for PHP!!!!!
Filed under: Code, PHP, Techie | Tags: Code, function, PHP, strings
Comments (19) If you have tried counting words in a string in PHP, you sure must have used “explode” function.
Its a pretty simple function and can be used in N-ways. A general simple function can be written as
$String = "This is my blog";
$words = explode(" ",String);
$num = count($words);
Now, this should give you the number of words (4) and following with the count of number of words{This, is, my, blog}.
BUT, the real problem is if your string is “Hello World”, the number of words here are 7 and count is also 7. How come? THats coz, of the fact the function explode takes delimiter as a space and will count the spaces, commas, etc also as words.
I have found a better way of doing the same. So here I am sharing with you.
Instead use this function, in which we check wheather the word is having any integer, charcter etc in it or not. If its a space we can royally ignore it
function wordCount($string){
$words = "";
$string = eregi_replace(" +", " ", $string);
$array = explode(" ", $string);
for($i=0;$i < count($array);$i++)
{
if (eregi("[0-9A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ]", $array[$i]))
$words[$i] = $array[$i];
}
return $words;
}
In this way, we can get the words as the user must have typed omitting the spaces and junk characters.
This function will return you a array of words in the string, and further we can even make it only Words++ to count how many words are there. So this function can actually work for 2 purposes.
1. Count the number of Words in a string
2. Get the words in array
Hope you find this useful.
