I'd use jQuery to do the word count and reject it on the frontend for a better user experience and enforce it on the backend. Sort of like I did with this. Pretty simple stuff :) There's probably already modules for that.. I'd use jQuery to do the word count and reject it on the frontend for a better user experience and enforce it on the backend.

(instead of just posting a photogallery) anyways, i'm not that experienced, since I can get this script to work allready :S Hmm, nothing :S

Something must be awry with how you've pasted it or something else in the file...? I just put this into a file by itself and ran a lint check and it passed without an issue.

Added this in a PHP file, with wrapped around it... but somehow it gives a 'Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end' This is a nice idea, how ever, I can't get this to work.
