Description 

Author

Reza Salehi

This class is meant to check the spelling of texts using only base PHP commands, thus not using any special purpose extension.

It uses a dictionary text file named as its spelling knowledge base.

For greater performance the class uses the dictionary words (currently almost 40,000) to build a dynamic hashed lookup table.

The class can also provide suggestions for the misspelled words that are found.

The dictionary file can be updated to include any missing words.

Winner

Prize: One book of choice by O'Reilly		 The applications that let the users compose text, for instance, of articles or e-mail messages, can benefit of text spelling features as they let the users review and eventually fix spelling mistakes before submitting the final version of the texts that are composed.

PHP comes with text spelling extensions like pspell but in some installations these extensions are not available.

This class provides a text spelling solution completely based on PHP code that only uses basic functions

The class makes it possible to provide text spelling features without depending on the availability of PHP spelling extensions.
