note 78609 added to ref.pspell

preg_replace_callback() is the best way I found to check words in a large text and change the HTML color of words that are not found. Here is a script I wrote which does just that, and optionally uses pspell_suggest() to auto-correct. I would love to write a better regex to ignore <text inside xml tags>, but that really isn't as easy as it sounds... <?php $pspell = pspell_new('en','canadian','','utf-8',PSPELL_FAST); function spellCheckWord($word) { global $pspell; $autocorrect = TRUE; // Take the string match from preg_replace_callback's array $word = $word[0]; // Ignore ALL CAPS if (preg_match('/^[A-Z]*$/',$word)) return $word; // Return dictionary words if (pspell_check($pspell,$word)) return $word; // Auto-correct with the first suggestion, color green if ($autocorrect && $suggestions = pspell_suggest($pspell,$word)) return '<span style="color:#00FF00;">'.current($suggestions).'</span>'; // No suggestions, color red return '<span style="color:#FF0000;">'.$word.'</span>'; } function spellCheck($string) { return preg_replace_callback('/\b\w+\b/','spellCheckWord',$string); } echo spellCheck('PHP is a reflecktive proegramming langwage origenaly dezigned for prodewcing dinamic waieb pagges.'); ?> OUTPUT: PHP is a reflective programming language originally designed for producing dynamic Web pages. ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 142.134.150.104 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pspell.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78609 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78609/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78609/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78609/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78609/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78609/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78609/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78609 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78609 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
