Counting how many times a word appears in a var?

[Advo]

I've made a small search function as of here:

if (stristr($bleh, $search_for)) {
if(preg_match('/<title>([^<]*)<\/title>/i', $bleh, $matches))
{
$name = str_replace("./","/",$name);
echo "<li><a href=$link".$na me.">".$matche s[1]."</a><br><br>";

}
Now this actually works fine, and gives me a page link and title of a
page, based on pages that contain the search term.

Im now trying to rationalise the code a bit more, so that the order of
the links depends on how many times that certain word appears on the
page.

Any ideas please?

My understanding is that i need to somehow count how many times the
$search_for text appears in the $bleh text, and then move onto the next
page.

Oh Tyrone, that guy is having a great time with regex, and now you spoiled
all the fun with an easy ready-to-go built-in function. :P

err no.. what he gave me does aditional tasks to what the code i pasted
does. the code i pasted also works 100% as expected, and as needed.

the code i am after and looking towards will add to this existing code,
not replace it. thanks then
