RE: [PHP] Spell Checker

Possibly the Porter Stemming Algorithm could help you? Just an idea . . . Basically I'm thinking that in each string, you would break it down into a combination of root words and Prefixes and suffixes. Definitely some serious data crunching going on. Hope this helps. http://www.chuggnutt.com/stemmer.php (this just just one implementation of it) See this for the background theory and more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming_algorithm Dan -----Original Message----- From: Jochem Maas [mailto:jochem@iamjochem.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 1:31 AM To: BH.VN.Viswanath Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Spell Checker BH.VN.Viswanath wrote: > Hi > > > > We need to check the spelling of a word which is actually a Domain > name.

The > normal spell checkers are just checking the words in the dictionary but not splitting the word into phrases. by all means ask a question. oh btw, I doubt there are many tools out there capable fo smelling that you want a space between the 'e' and the 't' of "onlinetradeing". > > > > Regards > > BH.VN.Viswanath > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
