Spelling Correction Function (PHP)

Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:15 pm (20 years, 9 months ago)

Does anyone know of a spellchecking function where I can just use

Code:

<?php
spell($string);
?>

and it will correct all the spelling mistakes in $string with the best guess?
I know one probably won't exist, but if it does it will save me hours of work creating my own.

Thanks,

Unfortunately my host doesn't have the required modules installed, so not of these will work Neutral

you could ask them to install the modules...

Maybe Iyonix is hosted for free, and doesn't want to be too demanding? Smile

ah yes, I remember being in that situation with cyberwings for a while...of course if I'd known what was going to happen I would have asked for as much as I could get Very Happy

I'm hosted for free with just about unlimited everything (as the disc space and connection permits) by this guy I know over the web. I've asked for quite a few extras recently (PNGCrush and HTMLTidy to name a few) so it seems kinda a bit rude to ask too much. I'll probably ask in a few months Surprised
