foreach ($num_words AS $pos => $word) {
	if ($pos < 50)
		$title .= " $word";
	}
	print $title;

Your code doesn't even parse, please provide a working script Put it in a zip/tgz file on a website if possible, and provide a link.

Take away the last } nothing else.
Parsable code:
#--------------------
$title0 = "V?rlden ?r ?ngestfylld f?r katastrof";
$num_words  = str_word_count($title0, 2);
						
foreach ($num_words AS $pos => $word) {
	if ($pos < 50)
		$title .= " $word";
}
print $title;

1) your PHP version is too old.
2) works fine with latest CVS.
