How can you accurately count page breaks in a string using PHP?

To accurately count page breaks in a string using PHP, you can use the `substr_count()` function to count the occurrences of the page break character (usually '\f'). This function will return the number of times the specified character appears in the string.

<?php
// Input string with page breaks
$string = "This is a sample string\fwith page breaks\flike this.";

// Count the number of page breaks
$pageBreaks = substr_count($string, "\f");

// Output the count of page breaks
echo "Number of page breaks: " . $pageBreaks;
?>
