Use this:
substr_count($text, ' ');

You're looking for preg_match_all.
$numSpaces = preg_match_all('/[ ]/', $testStr, $matches);

This way still works, but it's really a round-about way, since the substr_count() function exists. – James Skidmore Jun 23 '09 at 17:38

$text = "Biography of the author of Riyād al-Sālihīn";
$spaces = substr_count($text,' ') ?: 0; // if override spaces from sentences
$data = substr($text,0,$length + $spaces); //`enter code here
