Install pspell on Windows
Notes on configuring aspell/pspell with Windows PHP
Created by: Lester Caine, Last modification: 21 Oct 2006 (16:07 UTC) by Lester Caine
Since the notes in the PHP manual seem a little lacking I though I'd include a note here on configuring the pspell functions in Windows PHP.
aspell win32
This gets iinstalled by running the installer, and puts the program in Program Files\Aspell\ by default. The aspell-15.dll needs copying to the windows execution path. The PHP directory is probably the tidiest place, but \system32 may be required. ( Need to check this now that I'm running )
Running the dictionary installer copies all the files to the place that aspell was installed.
needs adding to the php.ini directory to enable the package, and Apache needs restalling to pick it up.
Download and Install ASpell Win32
It would be interesting to know if there is a later windows build of aspell, since this seems to be some 4 years old.aspell win32
This gets iinstalled by running the installer, and puts the program in Program Files\Aspell\ by default. The aspell-15.dll needs copying to the windows execution path. The PHP directory is probably the tidiest place, but \system32 may be required. ( Need to check this now that I'm running )
Install a Dictionary / Dictionaries
Windows Dictionaries has a number of dictionaries for use with the package. I downloaded the English one, but need to check if I have British rather than American.Running the dictionary installer copies all the files to the place that aspell was installed.
Enable the pspell extension
Getting the spelling right,
<?php
extension=php_pspell.dll
?>
needs adding to the php.ini directory to enable the package, and Apache needs restalling to pick it up.
Test the installation
<?php
echo "Check Spelling Installation";
$pspell_link = pspell_new("en");
print_r($pspell_link);
if (pspell_check($pspell_link, "colour"))
{ echo "This is a valid spelling"; }
else
{ echo "Sorry, wrong spelling"; }
?>
