I emailed the file to you. It will be coming from my work address.

I am positive that it is 4.1.0. Released DEC. 10, 2001.

Also, I forgot to mention. It is looking for pspell inside of the location where I running the
"make" for php. I installed pspell and aspell inside of the PHP directive and the make
went fine but when I test any of the pspell functions it is saying that they are undefined.

Thanks,

actually, I might take my last statement back. Looks like that problem has been long since fixed.

From the line numbers I see in your bug report, it looks like you are using a very old revision of
the pspell.c file - 1.12 or earlier (25 Oct 2000 or prior); the one shipped with php4.1.0 is
1.20.2.1.

Excuse me if I ask a dumb question, but are you *really* sure you are using php 4.1.0? If so, could
you email me (vlad@php.net) your copy of ext/pspell/pspell.c file?

Thanks

So much for collaborative efforts between two great ventures. I will go ahead and downgrade to an
older version.

Thanks for your time Vlad!

Happy holidays to you and the PHP community...

From the quick look at the source of pspell, the author has broken source backward compatibility
once again. Duh. Well, it's his toy, he can play with it, and I'll try to support the new
API once again. 

For now, if you really-really need a spell checker in php, use a slightly older aspell (I'd say
.32.x would work) and a corresponding version of pspell. I'll try to put changes up before the
next release of php.

BTW: He is also renaming the whole thing back to aspell. We've gone through this before - we
had aspell support, then Kevin changed the API to the point it wasn't worth fixing things that
worked with old API, and named it pspell, so we created pspell module too. Now he is dumping that
name once again... That will become kinda confusing for end users very soon.

Changing status to analyzed...

Thanks for the report:)
