Ok, so as I'm getting my hands dirty with PHP I've started playing around with arrays, strings and the like.
Now I know that arrays have a neat feature called "array_count_values" which can help to determine what the most repeated entry is. I wasn't able to find a string equivalent for this- will I need to convert the string to an array?
Basically, I want my code to determine what the most common (repeated) word is over a certain length in a given string.
Sans the character length qualification, this code can find the answer to the question of what is the most repeated word in an array:
<?php
$param[0]="Ted";
$param[1]="Mark";
$param[2]="Mark";
$param[3]="Ross";
$param[3]="Clarence";
function array_most_common($arr)
{
$counted = array_count_values($arr);
arsort($counted);
return(key($counted));
}
$mostCommon = array_most_common($param);
echo $mostCommon;
?>
So what would make this doable with a string? And a character amount filter?
