Hi there, I was hoping to enable the feature that my users can spell check. When I click to active Spell check the following message appears
Enable spell checking. You MUST have the pspell library installed on your server and your PHP configuration set up to use the pspell library. Your server DOES NOT appear to have this set up.
I am sure, I have to pspell library, and change my php configuration but How do I do this please help
Upload the attached file and what does it tell you? From what your saying it needs compiling. Either your host can do this for you or obviously you will need to compile it to work correctly.

Where do I upload it to? and how would I compile it?
Upload and run the file from e.g /forum/spell_test.php.
If you don't have your own server i.e you pay a hosting company they will need to compile pspell for you. Easily done by submitting a support ticket for someone to do this for you.
Run the spell_test file and tell us what it tells you. Simply type www.yoursite.com/forum/spell_test.php

I meant when using FTP, where exactly do I upload it to
Re-compile PHP with '--with-pspell' in the configuration command.
I am confused, could you give me a step by step guide
Assuming you are paying a webhost for your web space contact your webhost and ask them to compile php with pspell first. This needs doing before anything else really.

ok and I am not paying them, though I'll ask PO.GS to do this for me
From a technical standpoint, this is a simple operation, so your host shouldn't have any problems with it.
Is it possible to do it yourself though through phpmyadmin?
No you cannot.

Ok thanks for your help :), I have asked my host to compile php with pspell so there is nothing left for me to do but wait
As Oldiesmann said its a pretty common and easy thing for your host to carry out for you. Good luck.
