PSpell has no known problems.

If your web host is competent there should not be any problems installing the aspell libraries.

I'm running FreeBSD 4.5 and have done the make install on pspell and aspell. When I run phpinfo() it doesn't show pspell as being installed. When I click on spell check I just get a blank window. It seems as though pspell isn't compiled into php yet (I'm running on a stand alone box btw). Looking at your instructions it looks like I should go to my /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 directory and run you the configure command to add pspell along with the rest of the config commands listed in phpinfo - however, there's no configure command in the mod_php4 directory. Any ideas?

You need to compile php --with-pspell. See my earlier post in this thread.

Well my great webhost finally (I was in no rush) compiled PHP with the pspell libraries. So quickily I uncommented my code and gave the spellchecker a shot, and it defiantly worked different this time--but, I'm still getting database errors! Help!

In the attachment are the errors I am getting, any help would be most appreciative because this hack is SOOO needed on my forums ^_^

The prerequistes of pspell are that aspell are installed (usually are on linux).

Tell your host to install pspell in the aspell dir so it can use its words list.

*dies* Ok, dang, they're not going to be happy :(
Wish I knew this earlier...

Being that it's a prerequiste, you may want to edit your first post saying aspell also is required...

Sorry for the triple post..

I finally got everything working together and I must say this hack looks great, thanks for releasing it again Raz.

Now if this only had a grammar check....;)

Attached is a screehshot of what this spellcheck looks like, for those interested. You can see what I mean by grammar check by the word "wit" (commonly used on forums) that is passed up, since it is a real word.

I'm still having one heck of a time getting this to run. I've install aspell and pspell on our server and I've recompiled PHP with pspell included and have verified it through phpinfo.php that it is there in the config command (did this on our backup server so I didn't have problems on the main site). I've restarted apache and when I click on the spell check button I just get an empty window. Anyone have any ideas?
