Re: PSPELL with PHP

Please, tell me what 1. your configure line is for php 2. configure lines for aspell and pspell 3. location of your dictionaries Another thing. You said:

I've created a file en-american.pwli in the pkgdata directory which points absolutely to a wordlist american-words.95.

What's pkgdata? I have not heard of such a thing. And neither do I have en-american.pwli on my system. On my system .pwli files are located in /usr/local/share/pspell (default location) and the one you probably want is called en-american-aspell.pwli with the record in it referencing /usr/local/lib/aspell/american. Note the -aspell part of the filename. Or file en-aspell.pwli that is used for straight (non-americanized) English that references /usr/local/lib/aspell/english. BTW, this is the library you used when running the test ./example-c from pspell. Anyways, rather than figuring out the mysteries of the spellchecker, it is the easiest to do a default install of pspell and aspell, without creating any new dictionaries by hand and all that kind of stuff. Once you have this working with php, you can wonder off and do whatever custom stuff you need.. Vlad Lindsey Simon wrote:

Oddly, Pspell and Aspell seem to work properly, but the pspell_new function can't load the "en" dict. in the pspell/examples dir I can run the ./example.c en fine. I'm recompiling apache with php again right now to see if it may have to do with the --with-pspell path I was giving. -l Justin Plock in message Re: [PHP-DEV] PSPELL with PHP (Tue, 07/03 16:29):

yea, I had a similiar problem trying to get this to work as well, here's the email i received from Vlad (author of the pspell php library) which seemed to work for me. (I was attempting to install both pspell and aspell from the freebsd ports tree). See if this gives any insight, hehe: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- I bet you did not run the 'add-modules' script. The steps to properly build the thing are: First, in pspell directory: ./configure make make install Then, in aspell directory ./configure make make install Finally, go back to pspell directory and do cd modules ./add-modules cd .. make make install That last step is probably what you missed, at least, that gave me similar problems. Also, make sure that the directory where aspell and pspell place their shared files is amond the directories where your ldconfig will look into (I do not know how this is done in BSD) This solves the chicken-and-egg problem when you can't build aspell without having pspell in place, yet pspell needs to know that aspell (or ispell) exists to function properly. It is also described in pspell README. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Hope that helps, Justin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lindsey Simon" <lsimon@auschron.com> To: "Justin Plock" <jplock@bigfoot.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2001 4:17 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] PSPELL with PHP

Did you compile aspell into pspell? -Justin Plock --------------------------------------- I've just compiled and installed php-4.0.6 --with- pspell support. However, the pspell_new function gives me the following error: Warning: PSPELL couldn't open the dictionary. reason: I'm sorry I can't find any suitable word lists for the language-tag "en". the line causing the error reads: $pspell_config = pspell_config_create ("en","american"); $pspell_link = pspell_new_config($pspell_config); I've created a file en-american.pwli in the pkgdata directory which points absolutely to a wordlist american-words.95. I've been unable to find much clear documentation about the setup procedure for pspell with php and I suspect I'm missing something simple.
