    $wordsPerMinute = 200; // Set Average Word Per Minute 
    $word = "This is an example of a very long text!";
    $textLength = explode(" ", $word); // Split word by spaces(this will return an array)
    $textLength = sizeof($textLength); // Get the size of the returned array
    $result = $textLength / $wordsPerMinute;
    $result = ceil($result); // Convert result to integer -- If a double value like 2.7 is returened, it will convert it to 3
    echo $result."min";
