How to create a word counter project complete with an awesome user interface? Today you are going to learn how to make the tool ultimately. 

When I was a beginner in this field of back-end development. I have tried to create this project and I had failed and failed. 

Mainly I have tried to create a function for counting words and characters. That is too much difficult. 

After a lot of toil, I have held research and found a solution. 

Mainly there is a function available which helps us to display the word count and character count. 

  1. Strlen = To find the number of characters in strings. 
  2. str_word_count = To count the characters in a word.

Before going to the source code you must need to read the article fully. This helps you to understand more details about the project.  

Make sure 

  • Ensure that your XAMPP( To run php on your device) server is running.
  • PHP 6 or later is prescribed.

Folder and files

Create a folderšŸ“ and name it whatever you like. I am giving "Word counter" as the name of the folder. Also, create index.php and style.css files in the folder. 

index.php file contains HTML and php code and the style.css file contains the CSS code to make it stylish. 

Features 

  • Awesome look using CSS. 
  • Simple to create
  • No Javascript
  • Not responsive
