This package can count characters in a text input using AJAX.

It provides an example page with a text input that uses a JavaScript script to send an AJAX request to the server using jQuery to call a script that gets statistics about the text entered by the user in the text input.

The package also provides a PHP script that takes the text passed to the server using the AJAX request and outputs a message that shows several types of statistics about that text.

Currently, it can return:

- Characters with spaces

- Characters without spaces

- Number of spaces

- Number of words

- Number of phrases

- Estimated number of minutes to read the text

Number 4		 Many sites use text inputs to let users enter text that will be used for publication.

Some publications limit the amount of text the users can enter so it does not take too long for others to read.

This package provides examples of HTML, JavaScript, and PHP to demonstrate how developers can implement a character counter tool that can be displayed next to a text input to show several types of statistics about the text entered by the users, like the current character count and the estimated time that other people will take to read the text.
