Description:
------------
Code: 

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ru_RU');
echo str_word_count("??????");

Result - 2 !!! Wrong!

That is because function understanding letter "?" as whitespace. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ru_RU');
echo str_word_count("??????");

Expected result:
----------------
1

Actual result:
--------------
2

1) there is no ru_RU locale on Win32.
2) it can be missing on Linux too.

So check the setlocale() result first (use var_dump(setlocale()) for that).

yes...for Win32 need to write "setlocale(LC_ALL, 'rus_RUS');". echo var_dump(setlocale(LC_ALL, 'rus_RUS')); return "string(19) "Russian_Russia.1251". (on Linux  - "string(5) "ru_RU".)

So it *does* work, right ?
 [2005-11-09 08:56 UTC] desss at yandex dot ru 
No. Result is 2. Not 1.

Can't reproduce on Linux with ru_RU.koi8r locale.
PHP just uses isalpha() and other system functions to differentiate space chars from the others, so if it doesn't work for you - it's your system fault or you're doing something wrong.

hmm...on my linux now utf-8 rus locale... it's so strange...
