pspell_config_create

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

pspell_config_createCreate a config used to open a dictionary

Description

pspell_config_create(
    string $language,
    string $spelling = "",
    string $jargon = "",
    string $encoding = ""
): PSpell\Config

Create a config used to open a dictionary.

pspell_config_create() has a very similar syntax to pspell_new(). In fact, using pspell_config_create() immediately followed by pspell_new_config() will produce the exact same result. However, after creating a new config, you can also use pspell_config_*() functions before calling pspell_new_config() to take advantage of some advanced functionality.

For more information and examples, check out inline manual pspell website:» http://aspell.net/.

Parameters

language

The language parameter is the language code which consists of the two letter ISO 639 language code and an optional two letter ISO 3166 country code after a dash or underscore.

spelling

The spelling parameter is the requested spelling for languages with more than one spelling such as English. Known values are 'american', 'british', and 'canadian'.

jargon

The jargon parameter contains extra information to distinguish two different words lists that have the same language and spelling parameters.

encoding

The encoding parameter is the encoding that words are expected to be in. Valid values are 'utf-8', 'iso8859-*', 'koi8-r', 'viscii', 'cp1252', 'machine unsigned 16', 'machine unsigned 32'. This parameter is largely untested, so be careful when using.

Return Values

Returns an PSpell\Config instance.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 Returns an PSpell\Config instance now; previously, a resource was returned.

This might help if you are trying to use multiple custom dictionaries especially if you don't have sudo access to the system aspell dictionary directory ...
I created three custom dictionaries (or are they word lists) using "aspell create master" and found a way to use them ...
1) Create 3 word lists, one word per line, wordlistA.txt, wordlistB.txt, and wordlistC.txt.
2) Create 3 masters ... aspell --lang=en create master ./my_LANG-dictA.rws < wordlistA.txt - repeat for B and C (lang needs to be already installed, I think any lang will work).
3) Create 3 multi files, my_LANGA.multi, contents: add my_LANG-dictA.rws) - repeat for B and C. Where my_LANGA can be any name in the same case as explained in the aspell manual.
4) Use any one of them (A B or C) with pspell ...
<?php
$pspell_config
= pspell_config_create('my_LANGC', '', ''. 'utf-8');
pspell_config_dict_dir($pspell_config, <location of my_LANGC.multi>);
if ((
$pspell = pspell_new_config($pspell_config)) == false) {
echo
'pspell_new_config() for LANGC FAILED!');
} else {
$word = 'PHPisgreat'];
if (
pspell_check($pspell, $word)) {
echo
"$word: Valid spelling";
} else {
$suggestions = pspell_suggest($pspell, $word);
echo
"$word: suggestions: $suggestions"
}
}
?>

The language arg for pspell_config_create() is the basename of the .multi file.
Note that I do not have a file $HOME/.aspell.conf.
Note that my .multi and .rws files are in the same directory, which I think is necessary.
The wordlist files are not needed once the masters are created.
