#42762 [Opn]: pspell requires dll uncommented in php.ini

ID: 42762 Updated by: preinheimer@php.net Reported By: todd at magnifisites dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: The instalation section indicates; Installation If you have the libraries needed add the --with-pspell[=dir] option when compiling PHP. Note to Win32 Users: In order for this extension to work, there are DLL files that must be available to the Windows system PATH. See the FAQ titled "How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows" for information on how to do this. Although copying DLL files from the PHP folder into the Windows system directory also works (because the system directory is by default in the systems PATH), it is not recommended. This extension requires the following files to be in the PATH: aspell-15.dll from the bin folder of the aspell installation. Do you not feel that referencing the DLLs in the instalation secion is sufficient? While the lines are blurred on windows, adding a DLL counts as an instalation step, not runtime configuration. Win32 support is available only in PHP 4.3.3 and later versions. Also, at least aspell version 0.50 is required.

Reproduce code: --------------- Current online documentation states ... Runtime Configuration This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini. Actual result: -------------- Runtime Configuration This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini except for Windows users. Windows users must uncomment the pspell extension line and restart the HTTP server: extension=php_pspell.dll ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42762&edit=1
