Anyone know how to add words to the aspell dictionary? I've looked through the aspell documentation and can't make sense of it. It looks like I need to do a "aspell dump <wordlist>" and output that to a file to get the existing word list and then add to it. But when I try to do an aspell dump it give me an error that says that aspell dump is an unknown action. Thanks in advance.

I've just installed and and will give it a try. I just have to get PHP recompiled with pspell support now. I'll let you know how it works.

Raz, have you had a chance to look over this code yet?

It's a little buggy, sometimes you get blank pages, other times when you try to "finish checking" it does not do anything.

Raz,

Thank you for the hack. I am getting this error message.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pspell_new() in /home/moriel/www/html/forum/spellcheck/check.php on line 10

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Carol

I get the same error and can no longer use this hack.

I wonder if there was a PHP patch that has made something incompatible.

I have the same error but I have sent all the info from this thread to my host and they are sorting it for me.

maybe someone should write some info to give to the hosts so they know what is required from them

errors with the pspell_new() function are indicative that pspell is not installed correctly on the server and/or php has not been compiled with pspell. Chances are, they upgraded php and forgot to include --with-pspell when compiling.

On another note, has anyone tested this hack with Netscape? Using the latest 7.x build, it appears that the popup-spell check window remains blank. I don't know enough javascript to troubleshoot it, so I hope someone else here does. :)

Testing on Opera shows the same result--just a cute little blank.html screen ;)

Ideas?

I deinstalled this hack and gave up on it since Raz does not seem interested in fixing it.

No one other than your host can compile php properly. If you're getting errors with pspell_new(), have them fix it.
