Enchant

This seems interesting to me. But for the life of me, I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I have ispell installed and I can run it via command line to have it suggest words.

 

But I can't get it to work through PHP. I have compiled 5.3 from source with enchant enabled. I can use the enchant functions. But the issue is that enchant doesn't seem to be able to find the dictionaries.

 

I tried a test script I found on php.net, modified it to output more details. This is what it gave me:

Current broker provides the following backend(s):

Array

(

    [0] => Array

        (

            [name] => ispell

            [desc] => Ispell Provider

            [file] => /usr/local/lib/enchant/libenchant_ispell.so

        )

 

    [1] => Array

        (

            [name] => myspell

            [desc] => Myspell Provider

            [file] => /usr/local/lib/enchant/libenchant_myspell.so

        )

 

)

No Dictionary found.

 

Could the myspell provider be screwing things up? I have tried to compile enchant without myspell and then recompiled php. But no luck still.

 

Any one else play with Enchant yet?

Any ideas here?

 

 

I know I could easily build pspell into PHP, but I wanted to play with this. As it seems this is being removed in 5.3. So I want to get a handle on how this works for my few applications that are using spell checking.
