Guys I didn't write this. This will all done by the author of the script. I just made it available to all to use. I am still trying to get the script written in PHP instead of PERL.

Once I upload it, how do I install it?

I would love to get this to work but I keep getting a server error. It says this:

Premature end of script headers

Any ideas?

Make sure you upload in ASCII mode.

Never mind. I figured it out. Dopey me had the spell.pl file on CHMOD 655. Duh!

One other question and I'm not sure if it was covered in this thread. Is there a way to input custom words? We have a satellite forum with a lot of "non-words" only used while talking about satellite like DirecTV and such. It would be nice if the spell check didn't keep identifying those as misspelled.

You can add exceptions within the .cgi file itself. Open it up in notepad and you'll see where to put things in. If memory serves me correctly, I believe it's a list of words with spaces.

This script worked great ...thanks :-)

Thanks Paul! I found the list of words that the spell checker ignores and added to it. What's really funny is that I had to add contraction words like hadn't, couldn't, shouldn't and so on becuase the spell checker would pick up the first part of the word as misspelled.

Anyway, thanks for the help. Great hack! My users love it.

I found one bug and I'm not sure how to fix it. When someone encloses something in quotes like this,

"quoted word"

After spell checking, the checker returns it like this:

!QUOT!quoted word!QUOT!

Anyone else having this problem?
