I need help writing a program that outputs the number of characters, words, and lines of the given input.

This is what I have so far. It counts how many characters there are, but not the amount of words and lines.

<?php
if (isset($_POST['Submit1']))
{
    echo "characters: = " . strlen($_POST["name"]);
}

?>

    <form method="POST" action="dummy.php">
    
    text : <input type="text" name="name"></br></br>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit1" value="analyze">
    
    </form>

    [count_​chars](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count-chars.php) ... counts chararcters, [str_​word_​count](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-word-count.php) ... counts words. Both relatively easy to find when searching the web for "php count characters" or "php count words". I don't think you can count lines using a `text` input – brombeer Sep 04 '21 at 06:28
