        http://code.google.com/p/php-text-statistics/

        Released under New BSD license
        http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php

        Calculates following readability scores (formulae can be found in wiki):
          * Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease
          * Flesch Kincaid Grade Level
          * Gunning Fog Score
          * Coleman Liau Index
          * SMOG Index
          * Automated Reability Index

        Will also give:
          * String length
          * Letter count
          * Syllable count
          * Sentence count
          * Average words per sentence
          * Average syllables per word
