note 73877 added to ref.pspell

There appears to be a problem currently affecting PSpell functionality on Windows machines. Currently, the compiled build of PHP5 for Windows does not by default include PSpell, and to activate these functions the Windows user has to (a) install GNU ASpell; (b) copy the file aspell-15.dll to a directory in the Windows "Path" statement (typically C:\Windows\System32); (c) install one or more ASpell dictionaries; (d) enable the PSpell extension to PHP by adding a reference to php_pspell.dll in the php.ini file, and moving the file itself to the main PHP directory. However, when this has all been done and PSpell appears to have been fully activated, there remains a problem. While all the PSpell functions work as specified when referenced from the "main" body of PHP code, if they are placed within a PHP function, the system reports that it is unable to find any word lists for the specified dictionary (whichever one is chosen). I have a sample of PSpell-using code (taken from the SAMS book PHP 5 In Practice) which works perfectly on a Unix-based Web Server, but which fails with the indicated error message on a range of Windows machines. ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.3 Probable Submitter: 80.177.112.227 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pspell.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73877 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73877/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73877/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73877/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73877/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73877/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73877/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73877 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73877 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
