RE: FW: [PHP-WIN] Spell checking w. PHP in Windows

Hi list, All the replies to my question arrived in my inbox after leaving work friday, hence the late response. John: I never meant to offend you (or anyone else for that matter) with my question. But I still feal it justifies as a question for the PHP-WIN list. I mean, there are functions in PHP made to utilize aspell/pspell. When looking for ways to utilize these PHP functions on the Win platform, a WIN-PHP list sounds just right to me since people on this list probably all deal with just that - PHP on Windows. If this is your way of helping, please disregard all mails from me in the future. Jesse: Thanks for sticking up for me on this one. :) Flint: I'm happy to see that you are intrieged by my question. Unfortunately I don't have the skills necessary to start dealing with compilation of dll's. This is why I hopped that someone else already looked into this. Thank you for your time looking at it (if you stumble accross a solution I would be happy to know). Thomas: I am aware of the nature of this (and other) mailing lists, and truly appreciate it. As it happens, the fact that there are so many skilled people out there willing to "lend a hand" is one of the things I cherrish the most on the internet. I do also try to help out whenever I can, but in this particular area I'm still kind off "green". I realise now that the way I asked could be misinterpreted as taking out my frustrations on you guys. This was deffinately not my objective, and I appologise. The reason I asked a second time is that 1) There has been problems with the list, so I wasn't sure if people actually saw my question. 2) The list has quite a high volume of messasges, so it's easy for a question to "drown" so to speak, in the many messages that come through in a day. I am however glad I did ask again, as I got some very interesting and helpfull answers this time. I appologise once again if my mail seemed harsh, I probably should have worded it differently :) Jason: Reg. dll's: That seems like a plausible explanation. Reg. COM: Thanks, unfortunately I don't have money to spend on this (atleast not now). Johan: Workaround1: This could probably be done, even utilizing the Win32 executable version of aspell, however this will take a lot of coding (I think) and I'm not sure I would be up to the task. Workaround2: Unfortunately I don't know first thing about COM :) Last but not least, thank you to all who took the time to answer, and once again, my appologies to anyone who was offended by my question.
