[Aspell-user] Integrate aspell with PHP

[Pankil Shah]

Greetings All,

 

I am on a production system. The machine is RHEL 4 update 3. It has PHP (5.8.3) pre-configured with Dynamic Shared Object support enabled.

Now the problem is I want to integrate the aspell (pspell) package with PHP so that aspell is available to PHP. This is required to enable spell checker for a web-site.

 

The problem I am facing is that it seems it is not possible to build aspell with DSO capabilities so that I can configure PHP (httpd.conf) to load the module dynamically when the PHP engine starts.

 

I saw few posts on the net, but all of them suggested re-building PHP with option --with-pspell=shared,/path/to/pspell, but since I am on a production system this does not seem to be feasible solution.

I was able to build aspell with option –enable-shared and it successfully built the aspell package (with pspell interface). But I was not successfully able to Load it in the Apache as I could not find the Module-Name which this shared object exposed.

Is this the correct approach to integrate aspell with PHP?

I heard of using apxs tool for installing extension modules to Apache. Can aspell be build using this tool as described at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/programs/apxs.html

Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Regards,

Pankil

P.S. I searched the mailing-list but could not find anything substantial. If there is already a thread answering my queries, a link to it would also suffice.
