Word Count Updater

 

 

Word Count Updater - The Article Dashboard Word Count Updater is a PHP script written to update existing 'article_wordcount' fields in the article dashboard database.

The word count updater will scan all existing article records.  If an article record is found with a zero word count, the script will replace the zero value with a new word count computed using the PHP str_word_count() function.
