Description:
------------
In the Description paragraph it states:
"If the optional format  is not specified, then the return value will be an integer representing the number of words found."   This is correct.

But in the 'format' parameter paragraph it states:

 Specify the return value of this function. The current supported values are:

    * 0 - returns the number of words found 
      ........

This is wrong.  The value 0 is invalid.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

<?php

$str = "Hello fri3nd, you're
       looking          good today!";

print_r(str_word_count($str, 0)); // 7

?>

Works fine.
