Need PHP expression help

Hi, I need to validate a string of text against an expression and
having difficulty putting it together. Basically, I want to count the
number of words in a string that are separated by commas. If the count
is more than a predetermined number 9, it will do something, else
something else. Thank you for assistance.

How about
<?
$tmp = explode(',',$your_str);
if (count($tmp) > 9) {
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}
?>
