php spelling

[ChronicleX.com]

Hi,

I want to make a script for my phpbb/website that checks for spelling mistakes and gives a list of words that could match like MS word spell check. So there will be a button next to submit post to spell check your message.

Would this be hard for a new php coder to do?

Please don’t reply with google links of scripts to download as I want to learn something and make this my self With a bit of help though.

it's got to fit all versions of phpbb. I think it will be ok with no matter what changes on my site.

I don’t want a full script but if someone could show me a little of how it could be done or give me some code to start from I would be very happy. Or even maybe something to look up.

Thanks

the coding probably would be all that hard, adding a couple million words to a dictionary database would be.

Ok first of all there is SpellingCow (http://www.spellingcow.com) for phpbb. You Spelling can be done with php using the pspell (http://www.php.net/pspell) functions. You can find dictionarys for the pspell/aspell library not only in english.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pspell_config_create() in /script.php on line 2

PHP on your server probably wasn't compiled with pspell support. You can check this by looking at the PHP info and look for the PSPELL section. It should say "PSpell Support enabled" - if it doesn't, you can't use PSpell unless your host recompile with the proper modules.
