RE: PHP.ini question and follow up: pspell problem in win32

["Andy Stratton" <astratton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary,

 

I think the UK site is just a mirror for www.php.net – it redirected me automatically when I went searched for aspell stuff.

 

It’s nice to organize your install by adding the PHP directory to the system path and keeping all related PHP files in that directory, but you can do either.  Make sure you don’t have a php.ini file in both your WinNT directory AND you PHP directory.  I’m assuming it will take the settings of the php.ini file in whatever directory comes first in the system path, so if the WinNT comes first in the list, it will probably use that one regardless.

 

Hope this helps, happy PHP’ing,

Hi Andy,

 

Thanks, that did it.

 

I had looked at that on the php.net site (not UK)  Not sure if the same comments are on both sites but it did get me to read it again.  I had missed putting the entry in the ini file.

 

Now I seems to work OK and phpinfo and the EE wizard find it.  And my sample script works.

 

One question.  The PHP install instructions say to put all of the files in a PHP directory, but PHP doesn't seem to find the php.ini file there.  It seems I have to put the ini file in the WinNT directory, even though the PHP directory is in the path environment variable?

 

Gary

Gary,

Check out http://uk.php.net/pspell, hopefully you already have.  Have you made sure the file aspell-15.dll is in your system path? You could add the aspell bin subdirectory to your Windows System Path or copy this file to C:\WINDOWS

I would try one of these two options, restart IIS or at least your website itself (not 100% familiar with IIS 5 only 6).

Hi,

I seem to be having a problem getting pspell to work.

I am running the following test script:

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

if (pspell_check($pspell_link, "testt")) {
echo "This is a valid spelling";
} else {
echo "Sorry, wrong spelling";
}
?>

And I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function pspell_new() in
D:\InetPub\wwwroot\Spell.php on line 2

I have installed Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe and Aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe and
tested that installation successfully.

PHP seems to be running fine otherwise (I'm using it for _expression_ Engine).

I'm using the prebuilt Windows binaries in all cases.

My configuration is:

Aspell 0.50.3
PHP Version 5.2.5 installed as an ISAPI extension
Windows 2000 Server sp 4 with IIS 5

The IIS anonymous user account has access to both PHP and the aspell
directory .
