The following code will get 2 consecutive words:
$string = 'This is a sample text. It is a sample text made for educational purposes. This is a sample text. It is a sample text made for educational purposes.';
$sanitized = $even = preg_replace(array('#[^\pL\s]#', '#\s+#'), array(' ', ' '), $string); // sanitize: only letters, replace multiple whitespaces with 1
$odd = preg_replace('#^\s*\S+#', '', $sanitized); // Remove the first word
preg_match_all('#\S+\s\S+#', $even, $m1); // Get 2 words
preg_match_all('#\S+\s\S+#', $odd, $m2); // Get 2 words
$results = array_count_values(array_merge($m1[0], $m2[0])); // Merge results and count
print_r($results); // printing
Output:
Array
(
[This is] => 2
[a sample] => 4
[text It] => 2
[is a] => 4
[sample text] => 4
[made for] => 2
[educational purposes] => 2
[It is] => 2
[text made] => 2
[for educational] => 2
[purposes This] => 1
)
One improvement would be to convert the string to lowercase ?
I let the rest to you to figure out 🙂
