It depends on what you depend what a word is.
Assuming that every group of characters that is separated by space is
defined as a word.

You could easily lookup with strpos where the spaces occur in a string.
The distance between 2 such positions would be the length of the word.

Or you could use the split function to get all the "words" and use
strlen to determine how long they are.

After this you can use substr to grab parts out of such a word.

More on the functions mentionned above can be found at
http://www.php.net/manual -> string functions.
