Question concerning pspell library

[Methen]

Are there any detail instructions for setting up pspell library  to work with smf?

[ThorstenE]

pspell must be installed and enabled in php.ini, aspell and a dictionary must be installed on the server.. then you should be able to enable the spellchecker in SMF..

[Methen]

A few questions (please)
1 where exactly do I upload the  aspell files?
2 How exactly do I Install it?
3 Where do I upload the dictionarys?

Ask your host to install them, unless you host yourself, if the case sorry cannot help.

[ThorstenE]

hehe, this is depending on the OS you are using ..
example for debian (my favorite OS): apt-get install aspell aspell-en

for other linux distributions or even windows it's different because each has it's own package management.. goolge should help..

[Methen]

well I pay for my web host but I know they  use debian as for my I have xp pro on my computer so it would not be possible for me to do this my self ?

Unless you plan on hosting it on your own computer, stick with your paid webhost. Contact them and ask them to install it if you don't have it.

[Methen]

My Host had it installed already.

you can test the function of pspell.. create a small php-script

Code (spellchecker.php) Select Expand


<?php
echo 'TEST';
$pspell_link = pspell_new("en");

if (pspell_check($pspell_link, "Testt"))
   echo "spelled right";
else
   echo "Sorry, wrong spelling";

?>

if the output shows only "TEST" the script works but the pspell-extension is not working..
