Yes, you're right: I've just tried with fr_FR.iso885915 and it works.
That's great. :)

Thanks for the hint. As a workaround I use already a regular expression to
get the words, but str_word_count() is still better than my solution:
str_word_count() detects constructs like "it's" and "week-end" etc.
There were some examples of regexp substitutions for str_word_count in the
php.net manualpage, in the user contributions. You might want to check them.
For example rcATinterfacesDOTfr suggests that
$word_count = count(preg_split('/\W+/', $text, -1,
PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY));
should work. The advantage in this solution is that there is mb_eregi_split
as well, wo you could use this with the mb-functions if you wanted to use
utf-8.
I try to enforce utf-8 whenever it is possible simply because of it's
advantages in an international multilingual communication even thou it has
it's disadvantages as well.
