WampServer

I see that there is a php_pspell.dll file in the php ext directory, but it is not listed in the extensions and crashes apache when I insert pspell into the php.ini file.

I installed aspell on my machine and the server seems to recognize aspell is available now, but returns that there are no dictionaries installed. I installed the english dictionary.

Is there any way to get pspell or aspell running on the server and into the server's path?

Aspell is no longer supported in PHP (since version 4.3.0), so use Pspell. To use in your scripts, download the GNU Aspell library here:

[aspell.sourceforge.net]

Install the program. In order to use Pspell under Windows, you must copy aspell-15.dll from the bin folder of your GNU Aspell installation to a folder where PHP will be able to find it. Since WAMP comes with PHP4 and PHP5, we need to put the dll where both copies of PHP can find it.

For PHP4 put the dll file here:
C:\wamp\php4\extensions

For PHP5 put the dll file here:
C:\wamp\php\ext

Now edit your PHP4 and your PHP5 php.ini file, and add find this line:
extension=php_zip.dll

below that line add:
extension=aspell-15.dll

After you edit your php.ini files, restart apache for the new settings to take effect.

That worked. I thought that was what I did. I think I may have added aspell6.dll as well which may have been causing problems. I also may have put in pspell-15.dll and not tried just aspell alone.

Anyhoo that worked perfect. Thanx!

Took me a second to figure out how you determined I was from Oregon.

Why yes, yes I am.

I have php_pspell enabled and aspell-15.dll added and even added the ext directory to my path.

I developed an aspell spell (pspell independent spell checker last night, but I don't know why the same procedure before won't enable pspell now.

I've upgraded to a new PC on Vist home premium, so it is a new install.

sigh

make sure their is a triangle next to php_pspell. also run phpinfo() and check to see if pspell is listed there.

There is a triangle (the extension is active), and pspell is not listed in phpinfo().

It is set up just like it was before, so I don't know what the issue is. I've been writing a spell checking module that uses aspell and forgoing any use of pspell, but I would still like to figure this out if I could...
